Would a faulty micro switch part # ps7321762 cause the drum to rotate continuously except when the door is open?
For model number DLE4801W
Hi Jack,
Thank you for your question. If the dryer will not shut off, the door switch is a safety feature found in all dryers. It is an on and off type switch that prevents the dryer drum from turning when the door is opened. If the dryer continues to tumble after the door is open the problem is most likely the door switch. In most brands of dryers, the switch is located behind the front panel with the switch button protruding into the door opening. The switch and can be tested with a multi-tester for continuity and it may have two or more terminals. The test should be made between the terminals marked “C” and “NO” and should read infinite ohms when the door is open or when the button is not depressed. This test should only be made with when the dryer is unplugged. You should also check the timer, thermostats and the fuse. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

What do I need to replace if my dryer heats and dries, but at the end of the cycle continues to tumble and will only stop if I open the door, and then eventually it will let me dry again either by letting me reset it , or cleaning the filter, (which this light is on) even if it is clean, I even wiggled the switch that protrudes for the door to stop or start and that worked one time or by magic. I have gone as long as two or three days before it will work with me. I need your help.

The dryer drum continues to turn when the door is open, stops when it is supposed to when door is shut. I think it is the door switch, but I looked on this web site, but cannot find the door switch.

Would a faulty micro switch cause the dryer not to start, but not throw an error?

Hello Misty, thank you for inquiring. It is not likely. This is most likely due to either a faulty Door Switch, part number PS3529308, or Drive Motor, part number PS3523290 for your model. Good luck with your repair!
