It is a genuine item that is supplied by the original equipment manufacturer. This part is made for use with Whirlpool residential dryers. The door switch acts as a sensor to allow the washer to start when the door is closed. Unfortunately, over time it may wear out, get damaged or stop working all together eventually requiring a replacement. If the dryer does not start then the door switch could be defective. Note, this high-quality plastic body assembly is sold individually. To replace it, you will need a screwdriver to take the housing apart. The switch simply connects to the unit with an attached wire harness.

Lift the top of the dryer and let it rest on the wall behind it. In the front of the dryer is the door switch. Disconnect it from the wiring harness. Open the dryer door and unscrew the two screws holding the door switch in and remove it. Screw the new switch in with the screws and connect the new switch to the harness. Lower the top of the dryer.

We followed the very clear instructions that were provided, easy peasy. Was exactly the part we needed and installed exactly the way they said. Husband did it, but I could have done it. Way cheaper than calling a repair person...

Removed screws holding lint screen. Used a flathead screwdriver to gently pry up the dryer’s top cover. Once cover removed broken door switch was visible. I then used proper tool to remove the door switch. I ordered the part and tracked its progression from eReplacementParts . I was prepared to repair the dryer when the part arrived. The part matched the original. Installation was simple. Replace the part, reattach the lint screen, then test the dryer function. Super satisfied with the complete repairs and part ordered.
Sincerely,
Mr.Tweedy
