    XPARTCO XPARTCO 6601EL3001A Door Switch Replaces EBF61496102

    XPARTCO 6601EL3001A Dryer Door Switch Replaces EBF61496102 The XPARTCO 6601EL3001A is an aftermarket replacement dryer door switch assembly compatible with select LG and Kenmore electric and gas dryers — including the DLE, DLEX, DLG, and DLGX series. The door switch is a safety component that detects whether the dryer door is open or closed. When the door closes, the switch is mechanically activated, completing the circuit and signaling the control board that it's safe to start the cycle. On some LG dryer models, this same switch also serves as a belt break safety switch — halting operation if the drive belt fails. Without a properly functioning door switch, the dryer will not start, will stop mid-cycle, or in rare cases continue to run when the door is open. Rated 125/250V, 7.5/5A, 1/3HP, this switch measures 1-3/4"L x 1-3/4"W x 11/16"H with a white plastic and metal housing and glossy finish. It directly replaces 6601EL3001A, EBF61496101, EBF61496102, EBF63134603, ES3001A, ER6601EL3001A, AP4441527, AP7013115, 1268253, AH3529308, EA3529308, EAP3529308, EAP16551445, PD00007997, PS3529308, and PS16551445. Installs in 15–25 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO 6601EL3001A Dryer Door Switch fixes LG and Kenmore Samsung-built dryers that won't start, stop mid-cycle, or continue running with the door open. Also serves as a belt-break safety switch on some LG models. 125/250V, 7.5/5A, 1/3HP. 1-3/4"L x 1-3/4"W x 11/16"H, white plastic/metal.

Compatible with LG DLE, DLEX, DLG, DLGX series and Kenmore LG-built dryers. Common Problems This Part Fixes Dryer not starting even though the door is closed Dryer stopping mid-cycle for no apparent reason — door switch losing signal intermittently Dryer continuing to run with the door open (unsafe failure — replace immediately) Dryer stops after drive belt breaks (on models where this switch also acts as a belt safety switch) Interior dryer light not turning on when the door is opened Door switch button visibly broken, stuck, or fails to click when pressed Multimeter test shows the switch fails to change state when actuated Replaces Part Numbers This door switch directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: EBF61496102, EBF63134603, 6601EL3001A, EBF61496101, ALG54721, AP7013115, EAP16551445, PD00085155, PS16551445 If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility.

Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The door switch is mounted near the dryer door frame opening. On many compatible models, you can replace the switch without fully disassembling the dryer — access is possible through the door opening or with minimal panel removal (one customer reported the repair took as little as 5 minutes once they realized the dryer didn't need to come apart). Take a photo of the wire connections before disconnecting. Unplug the wire harness from the old switch, release the retaining tabs or remove the mounting screw holding the switch in place, and pull it free. Install the new 6601EL3001A switch in the same position, reconnect the wire harness, and secure the mounting hardware. Restore power, then close the dryer door and start a cycle to confirm the door is properly detected. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between 6601EL3001A and EBF61496102? These are the same door switch across LG's production revisions. 6601EL3001A is the original part number, and LG has issued EBF61496101, EBF61496102, and EBF63134603 as successive updated cross-references for the same component. All variants are fully interchangeable — if your dryer's parts diagram shows any of these numbers, this replacement is the correct part and covers all of them. My LG dryer suddenly won't start — is the door switch always the cause? Not always, but it is one of the most common causes. Other components that can prevent an LG dryer from starting include the thermal fuse, start switch, control board, and — on models where this part also acts as a belt safety switch — a broken drive belt. Test the door switch first with a multimeter set to continuity mode: with the door closed (pressing the switch button manually if needed), a working switch shows closed continuity. If the switch shows an open circuit when the button is pressed, it has failed and needs replacement. If the switch tests good, move on to checking the thermal fuse and start switch. Does this switch also detect a broken drive belt? Yes, on some LG dryer models. The 6601EL3001A serves a dual purpose on certain models — it acts as both the door interlock switch and the belt-break safety switch. When the drive belt breaks, the change in tension within the dryer cabinet releases a lever that opens this switch, halting operation. If your LG dryer suddenly stopped working and you suspect a belt issue, replacing this switch alone won't fix a broken belt — you'll need to replace the belt and confirm this switch's contact returns to normal afterward. My dryer is running with the door open — what should I do? This is a safety concern. Disconnect power to the dryer immediately and do not use it again until the switch has been replaced. A dryer running with the door open exposes you to a spinning drum and, on gas models, can interfere with proper combustion and airflow. The 6601EL3001A replacement restores normal safety behavior. Until the repair is complete, do not operate the dryer. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM part, but is manufactured from durable white plastic and metal with the same electrical ratings (125/250V, 7.5/5A, 1/3HP) and dimensions as the original 6601EL3001A door switch assembly.

    XPARTCO XPARTCO WE01X25316 Dryer Door Catch

    XPARTCO WE01X25316 Dryer Door Catch The XPARTCO WE01X25316 is an aftermarket replacement dryer door catch (also called a door latch) compatible with a wide range of GE and Hotpoint electric and gas dryers in the GTD, GTX, ETD, HTX, NTX, PTD, and YTD series. The door catch is the spring-loaded latch mechanism mounted inside the dryer door panel that snaps onto the door strike on the dryer cabinet when the door is closed, holding the door securely shut during operation and activating the door switch so the dryer can run. When the catch breaks or loses its spring tension, the door will not stay closed, the dryer will not start, or the door will pop open during a drying cycle. This replacement catch is constructed from toughened nylon with a hardened manganese steel spring — materials chosen for superior wear resistance and spring durability compared to standard nylon. It is sold individually and mounts inside the dryer door panel using a snap-in clip retained by a metal retaining ring. Installation requires partially disassembling the dryer door to access the catch from the inside. It directly replaces 4512762, AP6037347, EAP11766999, PD00042653, and PS11766999. Installs in 15–30 minutes with basic tools.

Unlike simpler snap-in door catches, the WE01X25316 is mounted inside the dryer door panel and requires partially disassembling the door to access it. Open the dryer door and remove the screws on the latch side of the door (typically three screws) and the screws on the hinge side (typically five screws). Gently pry the door inner and outer panels apart — work carefully around the edge. With the panels separated, locate the old catch — use pliers to squeeze the gray retaining tabs together and push downward to release the catch from the inner panel. With needle-nose pliers, squeeze the metal retaining clip and apply downward force until the clip is free. Insert the new WE01X25316 catch into the panel opening and snap it into place, then press the retaining clip back on to lock it. Reassemble the door panels and reinstall all screws. Close the door to confirm it latches firmly. Restore power and run a short cycle to verify normal operation. Tools needed: drill driver with 1/4" bit, #1 square head bit, pliers, needle-nose pliers. Frequently Asked Questions Why does installation require disassembling the door? Unlike the snap-in door catches found on many Whirlpool-family dryers — which clip into a slot accessible from the front without disassembly — the WE01X25316 mounts inside the GE door panel between the inner and outer door skins. This is a GE-specific design that provides a cleaner door exterior but requires separating the two door panels to access and replace the catch. While it is more involved than a simple snap-in replacement, it is a well-documented DIY repair that most homeowners can complete in 15–30 minutes with the right tools. My dryer door closes but the dryer still won't start — is it the catch? It may be — a worn or cracked catch may not push far enough into the door strike to fully activate the door switch, even if the door appears closed. However, if the catch appears intact and snaps firmly onto the strike, the issue may be with the door switch itself rather than the catch. The door switch (located inside the dryer cabinet at the door opening) can be tested with a multimeter for continuity in the open and closed positions. If the switch tests open in both positions, it has failed and needs replacement independently of the door catch. Is this compatible with older GE dryers that have a different door catch style? The WE01X25316 is for newer GE GTD, GTX, HTX, and related series dryers. Older GE dryers used a different door catch kit — most notably the WE01X1158 / WE1M536 / WE1M1011 style, which is a separate catch and strike kit. If your GE dryer is an older model not in the GTD/GTX/HTX series listed above, verify your model number before ordering to confirm this is the correct catch for your dryer. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured from toughened nylon with a hardened manganese steel spring to match the dimensions and function of the original WE01X25316 door catch.

    Whirlpool 279570 Dryer Genuine OEM Door Catch Kit

The door catch is the spring-clip mechanism on the dryer door that snaps over the door strike to hold the door firmly closed during operation, activating the door switch so the dryer can run. When the catch breaks, wears out, or loses tension, the door will not stay closed, the door switch will not be activated, and the dryer will either not start or will stop mid-cycle. The strike is the corresponding post or tab on the dryer cabinet that the catch engages. This Genuine OEM kit includes three color-coded door catches of different tensions and two metal door strikes, plus one screw.

Open the dryer door and locate the old door catch on the inside of the door panel and the strike on the dryer cabinet opening. To remove the old catch: press the retaining tabs and pull the catch free from its slot, or unscrew the mounting screw. Install the correct new catch into the same position. To replace the strike: remove the old strike (typically held by a single screw) and install the new strike in the same position. Close the dryer door to confirm it latches firmly with a satisfying click. Restore power and run a short test cycle to confirm the door stays closed and the dryer operates normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver; needle-nose pliers may help with catch removal on some models. Frequently Asked Questions Why does the kit include three different catches? Whirlpool used door catches with different spring tensions across its dryer lineup — a lighter catch on some models and a stiffer catch on others. To cover all compatible models in a single kit, Whirlpool includes three catches of different tensions, each color-coded and numbered on the back. It is important to use the correct one — using a catch with too little tension may allow the door to pop open, while a catch with too much tension may make the door difficult to open. Do I need to replace both the catch and the strike, or just one? It depends on which component has failed. The catch (the spring-clip on the door) is the more commonly replaced part — it wears out from repeated use faster than the strike. Inspect both: if the catch is cracked or has lost its spring tension, replace the catch. If the strike is bent, cracked, or missing, replace the strike. Since the kit includes both catches and strikes, you have everything needed for a complete repair. When in doubt, replacing both ensures the full latch system is renewed. My dryer will not start even after replacing the door catch — what else could it be? If the dryer still will not start after the catch is replaced, the door switch may also need to be tested. The door switch is the electrical component that the door catch activates when the door closes — if the switch itself is failed, replacing the catch alone will not restore function. Test the door switch (3406105 for most Whirlpool-family models) with a multimeter for continuity in both the open and closed positions. If the switch reads open in both positions or closed in both positions, it has failed and needs replacement. How is the 279570 different from the W11429587 dryer door catch? The 279570 is the door catch kit for older Whirlpool-family dryers — it includes multiple catches of different tensions and metal strikes because it covers a wide range of older models. The W11429587 is a single snap-in door catch for newer Whirlpool-family dryers (Cabrio and newer platform models). If your dryer is a newer model with a snap-in catch slot rather than a screw-mounted catch and strike, you likely need the W11429587. Verify your model number to confirm which part is correct. Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM kit manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same door catch and strike kit supplied by Whirlpool for compatible dryer service repairs — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

The door switch is a safety component mounted inside the dryer cabinet near the door opening. When the door is closed, the door strike depresses the switch actuator, completing the circuit and allowing the dryer to start and run. When the door is opened, the switch opens the circuit and stops the dryer. On models with a broken belt detection circuit, the door switch also plays a role in belt failure detection. A failed door switch causes the dryer to either not start at all or to run continuously with the door open. This is a Single Pole, Double Throw (SPDT) 3-wire switch with stainless steel terminals and a heat-resistant housing. It measures 1-3/4" L x 1-5/8" W x 1-1/4" H with a 7-3/4" wiring harness. Electrical specs are 120-240V, 50-60Hz, 11A, 1/3HP. The kit includes the switch and 3-wire harness assembly.

The door switch is located inside the dryer cabinet near the door opening, typically mounted in the front panel or top panel. Access it by inserting a putty knife under the top panel to release the spring clips and lift the top, then release the front panel. Locate the old door switch — it is a small rectangular component with a spring-loaded actuator button. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the 3-wire harness from the old switch. Release the switch from its mounting bracket by pressing the retaining tabs and pulling the switch free, or unscrewing the mounting screw. Snap the new 3406105 switch into the mounting bracket and reconnect the 3-wire harness in the same positions. Reassemble the front and top panels, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm the dryer starts, stops when the door is opened, and runs normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife. Frequently Asked Questions What does the dryer door switch do? The door switch is a safety component that monitors whether the dryer door is open or closed. When the door is closed, the door strike depresses the switch actuator, completing the electrical circuit and signaling the control board that it is safe to run. When the door is opened, the actuator releases, opening the circuit and stopping the dryer immediately. On many Whirlpool-family dryers, the 3-wire SPDT switch also provides a secondary circuit used for broken belt detection — one of the switch's contacts is part of the motor start circuit, while the other is part of a safety cutoff circuit. How do I test the door switch with a multimeter? Unplug the dryer and disconnect the switch from the harness. Set your multimeter to continuity mode. The 3406105 is an SPDT switch with three terminals — typically labeled Common (C), Normally Open (NO), and Normally Closed (NC). With the actuator button not pressed (door open position), you should read continuity between C and NC, and no continuity between C and NO. With the actuator button pressed (door closed position), you should read continuity between C and NO, and no continuity between C and NC. Any deviation from this pattern confirms the switch has failed. What is the difference between 3406105 and 3406104? The 3406104 was the original part number, and the 3406105 (later updated to WP3406105) is the current replacement that superseded it. They are the same door switch and are fully interchangeable. The 3405104 and 3405105 are also cross-references for this same switch from earlier production. If your dryer's documentation or old switch label shows any of these numbers, the 3406105 is the correct current replacement. Why does this switch have 3 wires when my old switch only had 2? The WP3406105 is an SPDT (Single Pole, Double Throw) switch with 3 terminals — Common, Normally Open, and Normally Closed. Some older dryer models used a simpler 2-wire switch, but the 3-wire WP3406105 is the updated replacement that works on both older and newer models. On models that originally had a 2-wire switch, only two of the three terminals are used — the third is simply left unconnected. Follow your model's wiring diagram or take a photo of the original switch's wire connections before removing it. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from durable plastic and metal with stainless steel terminals to match the dimensions and electrical specifications of the original WP3406105 door switch assembly.
