XPARTCO 3406105 Dryer Door Switch Replaces WP3406105
The XPARTCO 3406105 is an aftermarket replacement dryer door switch assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, Admiral, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and Norge. 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. It directly replaces WP3406105, 3406104, 3405104, 3405105, 528947, AP6008560, and several additional cross-reference numbers. Installs in 15–30 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. 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.

XPARTCO (2 Pack) EXP570 Dryer Door Latch Kit
The XPARTCO (2 Pack) EXP570 is a two-kit set of aftermarket replacement door catch and strike kits for dryers from Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Frigidaire, GE, Hotpoint, Inglis, LG, and other comparable brands. The catch and strike work as a pair: the strike on the dryer door engages the catch on the cabinet to hold the door shut for the whole cycle. When either part wears, cracks, or gets knocked out of alignment, the door stops latching reliably. It may not stay closed, it may pop open mid-cycle and let heat escape, or the dryer may refuse to start because it doesn't register the door as closed.
This 2-pack includes 2 kits, for a total of 2 door catches and 2 strikes. Each kit has 1 door catch and 1 strike, so you can replace the full latch set in one repair rather than guessing which half is worn, and keep a second kit for another dryer or a future repair. Because this latch design was used across several appliance families, the kit carries a long cross-reference list covering Whirlpool, Frigidaire, GE, LG, and Alliance-built part numbers; see the Replaces list below.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO (2 Pack) EXP570 Dryer Door Latch Kit fixes a dryer door that won't stay closed, opens mid-cycle, or an open-door condition that keeps the dryer from starting, caused by a worn or damaged catch and strike. This 2-pack includes 2 kits (2 door catches and 2 strikes). Fits Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Frigidaire, GE, Hotpoint, Inglis, and LG dryers. Classic symptom: the door swings open on its own, or you have to hold it shut to get the dryer to run.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer door won't stay closed
Door pops open in the middle of a cycle
Dryer won't start because the open-door condition isn't clearing
Worn, cracked, or damaged catch or strike
Heat escaping around the door, leaving clothes damp
Door that no longer latches with a firm, positive click

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning. Open the door and inspect the old catch on the cabinet and the strike on the door for cracks, wear, or loose mounting. Remove the old catch and strike, keeping track of how each one is oriented and mounted. Fit the new catch and strike in the same positions and fasten them securely. Close the door and confirm it latches with a firm click, stays shut, and lines up evenly with the cabinet. If the door still won't seat properly after the swap, check the door hinges and alignment, since a misaligned door can wear out new latch parts quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer door won't stay shut — is this the part I need?
Very likely. A worn or damaged catch or strike is a common reason a dryer door won't latch or pops open mid-cycle. Inspect both parts for cracks or wear. Because the two work as a pair, replacing both at once is the surest fix.
My dryer won't start and seems to think the door is open. Could this be the cause?
It can be. If the door isn't latching fully, the dryer may not register it as closed. If the latch looks fine and the door closes firmly but the dryer still won't start, the door switch may be the problem instead.
What's included in the kit?
This 2-pack includes 2 kits, and each kit has 1 door catch and 1 strike, so you get 2 catches and 2 strikes in total. If you only need the catch, we also offer it separately as the EXP571 Dryer Door Catch.
Will this fit my Whirlpool, Frigidaire, GE, or LG dryer?
This kit is cross-referenced to part numbers from all of those brands, but it fits specific models rather than every dryer. Match the number on your old latch parts or parts diagram against the Replaces list, or contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm before you order.

XPARTCO WR55X10025 Refrigerator Temperature Sensor
The XPARTCO WR55X10025 is an aftermarket replacement refrigerator temperature sensor (thermistor) compatible with a wide range of GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Café, and Monogram refrigerators. The temperature sensor monitors air temperature inside the fresh food and freezer compartments and sends that data to the main control board, which uses it to regulate cooling cycles and maintain the correct set temperature. When the sensor fails, the refrigerator may run too warm, too cold, or experience erratic defrost behavior.
This sensor measures approximately 1-1/4 inches long and includes 18-inch wire leads. It is constructed from white plastic and is used in both fresh food and freezer compartments depending on the model — on some models it also functions as a defrost sensor on the evaporator coil. It directly replaces OEM part numbers WR55X10025 and a large number of earlier GE thermistor part numbers. Sold individually — some models require two sensors. Installs in under 30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Unplug the refrigerator from the power outlet before beginning any repair. To access the fresh food thermistor, locate the sensor on the left wall of the fresh food compartment — it may be clipped into a housing or bracket. Disconnect the wire connector and pull the old sensor out of its bracket. Slide the new WR55X10025 sensor into the bracket and reconnect the wire connector. To access the freezer or evaporator thermistor, remove the freezer shelves and back panel, then locate the sensor clipped to the evaporator coil bracket. Remove any tie wrap securing the sensor, pull the old sensor from the bracket, insert the new sensor, and reconnect the wire connector. Reinstall the back panel and shelves, restore power, and verify the refrigerator returns to the correct set temperature. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, flat pry tool (for panel clips), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many temperature sensors does my GE refrigerator have?
The number of sensors varies by model. Many GE French door and side-by-side refrigerators use two or three WR55X10025 sensors — one in the fresh food compartment, one in the freezer, and sometimes one on the evaporator coil. Check your model's parts diagram or contact our support team with your model number to confirm how many you need before ordering.
What is a thermistor and how does it work?
A thermistor is a type of resistor whose electrical resistance changes with temperature. The main control board sends a small voltage through the thermistor and measures the resistance — a higher resistance means a lower temperature, and a lower resistance means a higher temperature. The board uses this reading to decide when to run the compressor and fans to maintain the set temperature. A failed thermistor sends incorrect readings, causing the refrigerator to over-cool, under-cool, or malfunction during defrost cycles.
Can a faulty temperature sensor cause the refrigerator to not defrost?
Yes. On models where the WR55X10025 also serves as the defrost sensor on the evaporator coil, a faulty sensor can cause the control board to incorrectly time or skip defrost cycles entirely — leading to excessive frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils. This frost buildup can eventually block airflow and cause both the refrigerator and freezer sections to warm up.
How do I know if my temperature sensor is the cause of my cooling problem?
The most reliable way to test the thermistor is with a multimeter. Disconnect the sensor and measure its resistance at room temperature — a working WR55X10025 should read approximately 16,000 ohms at 32°F, dropping as temperature increases. An open circuit (infinite resistance) or short circuit (zero resistance) reading confirms the sensor has failed. If resistance is within the normal range but the refrigerator still has issues, the control board or other components may be at fault.
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 durable plastic to match the dimensions and performance specifications of the original WR55X10025 temperature sensor.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Wear work gloves. Turn the two screws located at the bottom corners of the front panel counter-clockwise until they come out, then slide the panel up and off the dryer to access the door switch. Locate the wires connected to the old door switch and disconnect them, noting their positions. Remove the mounting screws or clips securing the old switch and pull it free. Install the new WE04X28977 in the same position, reconnect the wires to their original positions, and secure the mounting hardware. Slide the front panel back into place and secure the two bottom corner screws. Restore power and test that the dryer starts normally with the door closed, and stops if the door is opened during a cycle. Tools needed: screwdriver, wrench, pliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer won't start. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of a failed door switch. Since this switch tells the control board whether the door is closed, a damaged or malfunctioning switch can prevent the dryer from starting even when the door is fully shut.
My dryer door won't close properly. Could this be the same part?
Yes, a damaged door switch — often from excessive force when closing the door over time — can cause the door to not latch or close correctly, in addition to preventing the dryer from starting.
Is this a difficult repair?
It's a straightforward repair for a confident DIYer, requiring a screwdriver, wrench, and pliers, along with some slight disassembly of the dryer's front panel to access the switch.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original switch design and mounting configuration of the door switch originally installed in your dryer.

XPARTCO 279457 Dryer Heating Element Wire Kit
The XPARTCO 279457 is an aftermarket replacement heating element connection wire kit for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and KitchenAid electric clothes dryers. This kit includes 2 connecting wires and 2 wire connectors that join the dryer's wiring harness to the heating element terminals. Because these connections carry the full current draw of the heating circuit, they're a common failure point — the terminals and wire insulation gradually degrade from repeated heat cycling, and a loose or corroded connection creates resistance that generates even more heat, which can melt the wire insulation or the connector itself.
This kit is the correct fix when you find burnt, melted, or brittle wiring at the heating element terminals rather than a fully failed heating element — replacing just the connection wiring is far cheaper than replacing the whole element when the element itself still tests good.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 279457 Heating Element Wire Kit fixes a dryer with no heat, inadequate heat, or overheating caused by burnt or melted wiring at the heating element connection — not a failed heating element itself. Includes 2 connection wires and 2 wire connectors. Classic symptom: a burning smell, or visibly melted/discolored wire insulation near the heating element terminals.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer not heating or producing inadequate heat
Dryer overheating or heat cycling erratically
Visibly melted, burnt, or discolored wires at the heating element connection
Burning smell during operation
Intermittent heating caused by a loose or corroded connection
Heating element itself tests fine but the dryer still won't heat properly

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing — High-Current Connection Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning — this connection carries the full current of the heating circuit and must never be serviced live. Remove the dryer's rear or front panel per your model's service guide to access the heating element. Inspect the existing connection wires and terminals for melting, discoloration, or brittleness — if you see any of these signs, replace both wires and connectors entirely rather than reusing any part of them. Disconnect the two old connection wires from the heating element terminals, install the two new wires in their place, and secure each wire connector firmly so both connections are tight with no exposed bare wire. A loose or poor connection is the most common root cause of this failure in the first place, so double-check the fit on both connections before closing the dryer back up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a new heating element, or just this wire kit?
If the heating element itself tests good with a multimeter but you see melted, burnt, or discolored wiring specifically at the connection point, this wire kit alone is usually the correct and much cheaper fix. If the element itself has failed (no continuity), you'll need to replace the heating element too.
Why did my heating element wires melt in the first place?
This usually happens when a connection becomes loose or corroded over time, which increases electrical resistance at that point. That resistance generates extra heat right at the connection, which can melt the wire insulation or the connector. Make sure the new connection is seated tight and secure to prevent it from happening again.
How many wires and connectors are in this kit?
This kit includes 2 connection wires and 2 wire connectors — enough to replace both terminal connections on the heating element in one kit, per the original manufacturer specification.
Is this safe to install myself?
Most DIY-capable owners can complete this repair with basic hand tools in under an hour. That said, always unplug the dryer or shut off its breaker before working on it, since this connection carries the full current of the heating circuit — never work on it while the dryer is powered.

XPARTCO 12138200000320 Dryer Door Catch
The XPARTCO 12138200000320 is an aftermarket replacement dryer door catch compatible with select Midea and Insignia dryers. The door catch is a small plastic spring-clip mechanism mounted on the dryer door that snaps over the door strike o12138200000320 n the cabinet opening to hold the door firmly closed during operation. When the door is closed and latched, the door switch is activated — signaling the control board that it is safe to run. When the catch breaks, cracks, or loses its spring tension, the door will not stay closed, the door switch will not activate properly, and the dryer will either not start or will stop mid-cycle.
This is a snap-in replacement catch — the color or exact finish may vary by production run. It directly replaces AP7152622 and PS18161385. Sold individually. Installs in under 5 minutes — no tools required in most cases.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 12138200000320 Dryer Door Catch fixes Midea and Insignia dryers where the door won't stay closed, pops open during a cycle, or where the dryer won't start because the door switch isn't being activated. Snap-in installation — no tools required, installs in under 5 minutes. Sold individually. Replaces AP7152622, PS18161385.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer door will not stay closed during the drying cycle
Door pops open mid-cycle, stopping the dryer
Dryer will not start — door switch not being activated by a worn or broken catch
Door feels loose or does not click shut firmly when closed
Door catch visibly cracked, broken, or missing
Dryer requires the door to be held or pushed to stay running
Replaces Part Numbers
This door catch directly replaces the following part numbers:
12138200000320, AP7152622, PS18161385.
Contact our support team with your model number if you need confirmation before ordering.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning. Open the dryer door and locate the old door catch — it is a small plastic clip mounted on the inside of the door or on the cabinet opening around the door. Press the tabs on the old catch to release it from its mounting slot and pull it free. Note the orientation before removing. Insert the new 12138200000320 catch into the slot in the same orientation and press firmly until it snaps into place. Close the door to confirm it latches securely. Restore power and run a short cycle to verify the door stays closed and the dryer operates normally. Tools needed: None in most cases; a small flat-head screwdriver may help with removal.
Frequently Asked Questions
What dryers is the 12138200000320 compatible with?
The 12138200000320 door catch is used on select Midea and Insignia dryer models. Insignia is a Best Buy house brand whose appliances are manufactured by Midea. Always verify your exact model number before ordering to confirm this catch fits your dryer's door latch assembly.
Why won't my dryer start even though I'm closing the door?
If the door catch is broken or worn, the door may not be engaging the door switch firmly enough to signal the control board that the door is closed. Most dryers will not run unless the door switch is fully activated. Replacing the 12138200000320 catch restores the firm snap needed to trigger the switch. If replacing the catch does not resolve the start issue, the door switch itself may also need to be checked.
Do I need to replace the door strike as well?
Not necessarily. In most cases only the door catch (the spring-clip on the door) needs replacement. The door strike (the post or tab on the cabinet that the catch snaps onto) is typically more durable. Inspect the strike for cracks or breakage before ordering — if it is intact, just the 12138200000320 catch is all you need.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Midea OEM part, but is manufactured from durable plastic to match the dimensions and function of the original 12138200000320 door catch.

Genuine OEM W11511154 Dryer Drive Motor
The W11511154 is a genuine OEM dryer drum drive motor from Whirlpool, with the pulley for the drum belt included. It is the motor that turns the drum through the drive belt and also drives the blower that moves air through the dryer. When it fails or weakens, the dryer may not start, hum without turning, run loudly, stop partway through a cycle, or leave clothes damp because the drum or airflow isn't running properly.
This is a genuine OEM part, not an aftermarket equivalent, so the fit and the motor match what came with the dryer. It replaces several earlier Whirlpool drive motor numbers, including W11364931 and W11086656, both of which are now replaced by this number.
Quick Answer
The Genuine OEM W11511154 Dryer Drive Motor fixes a Whirlpool-built dryer that won't start, hums but the drum won't turn, runs noisily, or stops mid-cycle because the drive motor has failed. Genuine OEM from Whirlpool, with the pulley for the drum belt included. Classic symptom: you hear a hum or nothing at all when the dryer should be tumbling, even though the belt and power are fine.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer won't start, or hums without turning the drum
Drum stops turning during a cycle
Loud grinding, squealing, or rumbling from the motor area
Weak airflow or damp clothes from a failing blower drive

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker, and shut off the gas supply first if it's a gas model. Following your model's service guide, remove the panels needed to reach the motor at the bottom of the cabinet. Take note of the belt routing, then release the drum belt and disconnect the motor's wiring harness. Remove the mounting hardware and take out the old motor. Install the new motor in the same position, make sure the pulley is on the shaft and aligned, and reconnect the wiring. Refit the drum belt following the original routing, replace the panels, and run the dryer to confirm the drum turns smoothly. It's a good time to check the belt and idler pulley for wear, since they affect the new motor's life.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer hums but the drum won't turn. Is this the part I need?
It could be the motor, but a broken drum belt is a more common cause. Open the dryer and check that the belt is intact and the drum turns by hand. If the belt and idler pulley are fine and the motor hums or doesn't run, the drive motor is the likely cause.
Does it include the pulley?
Yes. The motor comes with the pulley for the drum belt.
My old motor is marked W11364931 or W11086656. Will this work?
Yes. Both numbers are on the Replaces list and have been replaced by W11511154.
Is this a genuine Whirlpool part?
Yes. This is a genuine OEM Whirlpool part, not an aftermarket equivalent.

XPARTCO WE03X37317 - WE03X37318 Dryer Drum Glide Set
The XPARTCO WE03X37317 - WE03X37318 is an aftermarket replacement drum glide set for GE and Hotpoint dryers, also used on select Whirlpool and Kenmore dryers and washer-dryer combos. These plastic bearing slides are the wear pads at the front of the dryer that the drum rides on as it turns. As they wear down, the drum no longer sits and rolls smoothly, and the dryer starts to squeak, squeal, or rumble. In worse cases the drum catches or drags, and clothes can get snagged or marked between the drum and the front frame.
This set pairs both glide types used on these dryers: the WE03X37317 and the WE03X37318 front bearing slides. Because the slides wear at the same rate, replacing them together restores smooth, quiet drum rotation and avoids a repeat repair. Easy to install, typically 30–60 minutes.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WE03X37317 - WE03X37318 Drum Glide Set fixes a GE or Hotpoint dryer that squeaks, squeals, or rumbles loudly as the drum turns, or whose drum drags or catches. Replaces both the WE03X37317 and WE03X37318 front bearing slides. Classic symptom: a loud squeal or scraping noise from the drum area that gets worse over the cycle, sometimes with marks or snags on clothes.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Loud squeaking, squealing, or scraping noise while the drum tumbles
Drum not spinning smoothly, or dragging and catching
Marks, wrinkles, or snags on clothes from items catching between the drum and the front frame
Excessive drum noise during drying cycles
Visibly worn, thin, or chewed-up plastic glides at the front of the drum

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker, and shut off the gas supply first if it's a gas model. Remove the top and front panels per your model's service guide to expose the front of the drum, and disconnect any wiring that's in the way. Lift or support the drum enough to reach the worn glides, which are held in place at the front bearing support. Pull out the old glides, noting the position and orientation of each, and fit the new ones in the same positions. Reassemble the dryer and spin the drum by hand to confirm it turns smoothly before restoring power. Replace the glides as a set, since they wear at the same rate.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer squeals or rumbles loudly while tumbling — is this the part I need?
Worn drum glides are a very common cause of squeaking and scraping from the drum area. If the plastic glides look thin, grooved, or chewed up, replacing them should quiet the dryer and restore smooth rotation. Also check the drum rollers and idler pulley, which can cause similar noises.
Why are there two different part numbers?
GE uses two glide types at the front of the drum: glide (WE03X37317) and glide (WE03X37318). This set covers both, so you can replace the full set in one go.
Should I replace all the glides or just the worn ones?
Replace them together. The glides wear at about the same rate, so if one is worn the others are usually close behind.
Will this fit my Whirlpool or Kenmore dryer?
These glides are cross-listed for select Whirlpool and Kenmore dryers and washer-dryer combos as well as GE and Hotpoint. Compare the part numbers on your parts diagram against the Replaces list, or contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm.

Genuine OEM WP3406107 Dryer Door Switch
The Genuine OEM Whirlpool WP3406107 is a dryer door switch for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and KitchenAid dryers. It mounts inside the top of the dryer's front panel, with one end connecting to the wiring harness and the other passing through the panel to make contact with the door. When the door closes, it presses the switch's black tab, which tells the dryer the door is shut so it can run. When the switch wears out, the dryer may not start, may run with the door open, or may lose its interior light.
This is the original Whirlpool part, a white, 6.5 inch, three-wire switch. Retailers describe the switch as a regular wear part and rate the repair as really easy, typically 15 to 30 minutes.
Quick Answer
The Genuine OEM WP3406107 Door Switch fixes a Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, or KitchenAid dryer that won't start, runs with the door open, has a light that doesn't work, or has a door that won't close properly. Quick test: with the dryer unplugged, press the switch's black tab. If it has no resistance and doesn't click, the switch likely needs replacing.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer won't start
Dryer runs with the door open

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer before beginning, and shut off the gas supply first on gas models. Wear work gloves, as cabinet edges can be sharp. The switch is mounted inside the top of the front panel, so follow your model's service guide to remove the panel needed to reach it. Note how the wiring connector is attached, disconnect it, and remove the old switch. Fit the new switch in the same position, reconnect the wiring, and reassemble. Restore power and confirm the dryer starts with the door closed and stops when the door is opened.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer won't start. Is this the part I need?
A worn door switch is a common cause. With the dryer unplugged, press the switch's black tab. If there is no resistance and no click, the switch likely needs replacing.
My dryer runs with the door open. Is that a problem?
Yes. The door switch is a safety part that stops the dryer from running when the door is open. If the dryer runs with the door open, replace the switch promptly.
My dryer has a two-wire switch. Will this three-wire switch work?
Retailers list this three-wire switch as the replacement for the two-wire switch found on many models. Compare it to your old switch and your wiring, or contact our support team with your model number, before ordering.
Will this fit my dryer?
It is listed for many Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and KitchenAid dryers, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.
