XPARTCO DC64-00828B Dryer Door Switch
The XPARTCO DC64-00828B is an aftermarket replacement dryer door switch (also called a door jamb switch) compatible with a wide range of Samsung and Kenmore Samsung-built electric and gas dryers — including the DV2, DV3, DV4, DV5, DVE, DVG, 592, 401, and 402 series. The door switch is a small safety component mounted near the dryer door frame that detects whether the door is closed. When the door closes, the switch is activated, signaling the control board that the dryer is safe to start or continue running. If the switch fails to detect the closed door, the dryer will not start, will stop mid-cycle, or in rare unsafe failure modes, may continue running with the door open.
This switch directly replaces DC64-00828A (the prior version), 2071595, AP4578931, EAP4210965, PS4210965, PS4210964, 2071594, and PD00028436. It is constructed from durable plastic and metal in white, with dimensions of approximately 1.73"L x 1.73"W x 0.47"H. Note: while this switch looks easy to remove, the front panel actually needs to come off to access it cleanly. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DC64-00828B Dryer Door Switch fixes Samsung and Kenmore Samsung-built dryers that won't start when the door is closed, stop mid-cycle, display error codes dC, dF, dE, or d0, or continue running with the door open. Approx. 1.73"L x 1.73"W x 0.47"H, white. Replaces DC64-00828A, 2071595, AP4578931, EAP4210965, PS4210965, PS4210964, 2071594, PD00028436. Compatible with Samsung DV2, DV3, DV4, DV5, DVE, DVG series and Kenmore 592/401/402-series dryers.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power and turn off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Although the door switch appears easy to access from the front, on most Samsung dryer models the front panel actually needs to be removed to install the new switch cleanly. Unscrew and lift off the front panel — be careful not to drop it during reinstallation. Locate the old door switch mounted near the door frame opening. Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Unplug the wire harness from the old switch, release the retaining tabs or remove the mounting screws holding the switch in place, and pull it free. Install the new DC64-00828B switch in the same position, reconnect the wire harness, and reinstall the front panel. Restore power, then close the dryer door and start a cycle to confirm the door is properly detected and the dryer runs normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do error codes dC, dF, dE, and d0 mean on Samsung dryers?
These door-related error codes on Samsung dryers all indicate the control board is not receiving the expected "door closed" signal from the door switch. dC and d0 commonly appear when the dryer cannot detect a closed door at the start of a cycle, while dF and dE appear when the door signal is lost during a cycle. The dryer's safety logic prevents operation under any of these conditions. Replacing a failed DC64-00828B door switch resolves these codes when the switch itself is the cause; if the codes persist after replacement, check the wiring harness between the switch and the control board for damage.
My dryer is running with the door open — what should I do?
A dryer that continues to run with the door open is a serious safety concern and should be addressed immediately. This usually indicates a failed door switch that is stuck in the "closed" position electrically, even though the door is physically open. Disconnect power to the dryer right away and avoid running it until the switch has been replaced. The DC64-00828B replacement restores normal safety behavior. Until the repair is complete, do not run the dryer.
What is the difference between DC64-00828B and DC64-00828A?
These are the same door switch across successive production revisions. DC64-00828A was the original part number and DC64-00828B is the current updated version. Both are fully interchangeable — if your dryer's parts diagram shows DC64-00828A, the DC64-00828B is the correct current replacement and is covered by this listing.
My dryer suddenly stops mid-cycle even though the door is closed — could this be the switch?
Yes — a door switch with intermittent contact failure is a common cause of unexplained mid-cycle shutdowns on Samsung dryers. The switch may be working correctly when first activated but losing its signal momentarily during operation due to vibration or worn internal contacts, causing the control board to interpret a momentary "door open" condition and stop the cycle. If this is happening repeatedly without any other identifiable cause, replacing the DC64-00828B door switch is the recommended fix.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured from durable plastic and metal to match the dimensions, switch contacts, and function of the original DC64-00828B dryer door switch.

XPARTCO W10820036 Washer / Dryer Door Switch
The XPARTCO W10820036 is an aftermarket replacement door switch used on select Whirlpool-built combination washer/dryer units. This switch is a safety interlock: it detects whether the door is fully closed and latched, and it signals the control board that it is safe to run the motor, heater, and water valves. On a combo unit, this single interlock typically governs both the wash and dry portions of the cycle, since both functions share the same drum and door. If the switch fails to detect a closed door — or fails electrically even when the door is closed properly — the control will refuse to start the cycle, or will stop mid-cycle if the switch drops out while running.
Typical failure modes for a part like this include a cracked or worn switch lever that no longer depresses fully when the door closes, internal contacts that have pitted or burned out from years of cycling, and a housing that has come loose from its mounting bracket so the plunger no longer lines up with the door strike. A functioning door switch should click firmly when the door closes and should show continuity across its terminals only when the lever is pressed.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W10820036 Washer/Dryer Door Switch is a door safety interlock switch for select Whirlpool-built combination washer/dryer units. It fixes units that won't start with the door closed, stop mid-cycle, or fail to register the door as closed even when it's latched properly. Note: this listing was built from general parts knowledge because current supplier and cross-reference data was not available at build time — see the note below before publishing.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer/dryer combo won't start even though the door is fully closed
Cycle stops partway through, as if the door had been opened
Door doesn't feel like it's "clicking" or latching the way it used to
Console shows a door-related error or won't advance past the door-closed step
Intermittent operation — sometimes starts, sometimes doesn't, depending on how the door is closed
Visibly cracked, loose, or broken switch housing or lever

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug The Unit Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access to the door switch on combo units is typically through the front or top control panel — photograph the wiring harness before disconnecting it so you can match it exactly on reassembly. Confirm the new switch's lever aligns with the door strike before securing the mounting screws, and test for a firm, positive click when the door closes before restoring power and running a cycle. If your unit's service manual is available, follow its specific access and mounting steps rather than relying solely on general guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
My combo unit won't start. Is this definitely the door switch?
It's one of the most common causes when a unit refuses to start with the door visibly closed. Before replacing the switch, confirm the door is latching fully and that nothing (a stray sock, a bent strike bracket) is preventing it from closing all the way. If the door latches firmly but the unit still won't start, or a multimeter shows no continuity across the switch terminals when the lever is pressed, the switch itself is the likely culprit.
Does this switch control both the washer and dryer functions?
On combination washer/dryer units, yes — a single door and drum typically serve both functions, so one door switch acts as the safety interlock for both the wash and dry portions of the cycle.
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 to match the mounting, switching function, and door-interlock behavior of the original W10820036 switch used in compatible combination washer/dryer units.

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.

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.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting (Shut Off Gas First on Gas Models) — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning (and shut off the gas supply first if you have a gas dryer model). Wear work gloves — there are sharp metal edges inside the dryer cabinet. Remove the lint filter housing screws, release the top panel locking clips with a putty knife, and lift the top panel. Remove the front panel to access the drum, drive belt, and tensioner pulley assembly. Locate the belt safety switch in this area — refer to your model's parts diagram to confirm its exact mounting position, as it is positioned near the belt and tensioner pulley support. Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the wires from the old switch, remove the mounting screw or clip, and pull the switch free. Install the new 17438000001584 switch in the same position, secure the mounting hardware, and reconnect the wires. While this area is open, it's a good time to inspect the drive belt and tensioner pulley for wear, since this switch is related to belt operation. Reassemble the front panel and top panel in reverse order. Restore gas and power, and run a test cycle to confirm the dryer starts and runs normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the belt safety switch do?
The belt safety switch monitors belt-related conditions near the drive belt and tensioner pulley assembly and interrupts electrical flow to the motor or heating circuit if it detects a fault or unsafe condition — such as a broken or badly slipped drive belt. This is a protective measure: if the belt has failed and the drum can no longer be driven normally, the switch helps prevent continued unsafe operation of the motor or heater. It works alongside other safety components in the dryer (like the door/cover switch and thermal limiters) as part of an overall safety system.
My dryer just had a belt replacement and now isn't working right — could this switch be involved?
It's possible. Since this switch is positioned near the belt and tensioner pulley assembly, it can be disturbed, dislodged, or its connector improperly reseated during a belt replacement. If your dryer is behaving erratically after a recent belt repair — failing to start, shutting off, or not heating — check that this switch's connector is fully seated and that the switch itself wasn't damaged during the repair. If the connector is good and the switch tests as an open circuit with a multimeter, it has failed and needs replacement.
How do I test if this safety switch has failed?
Unplug the dryer, disconnect the switch's wire connector, and set your multimeter to continuity mode. With the belt and tensioner mechanism in their normal operating position, the switch should show closed continuity (allowing current to flow). If the switch shows an open circuit when it should be closed, it has failed and needs replacement. Always refer to your specific model's wiring diagram to confirm the expected switch state, since exact behavior can vary by dryer model.
Does this switch fit Insignia and Criterion dryers as well as Midea?
Yes — Insignia (Best Buy) and Criterion (Sears/Kmart) are house brands whose dryers in certain configurations are manufactured by Midea and use the same internal components, including this belt safety switch. Confirmed Criterion models include the CDG41N1AW and CDG45N1AW gas dryers. Always verify your specific model number before ordering to confirm compatibility.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications. It is the exact same belt safety switch installed in compatible Midea, Criterion, and Insignia dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO 8557403 Dryer High-Limit Thermostat with Thermistor Replaces WP8557403
The XPARTCO 8557403 is an aftermarket replacement dryer high-limit thermostat and thermistor sensor assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Roper, Admiral, Norge, and Magic Chef electric dryers — including the Whirlpool Duet and Maytag MED series. This single component combines two functions: the high-limit thermostat (rated L146-44C, opens at 295°F) acts as a resettable safety switch that cuts power to the heating element if the dryer air temperature exceeds safe limits, and the integrated 50-ohm thermistor continuously monitors air temperature and sends resistance-based readings to the control board to regulate the drying cycle.
When this part fails — whether the thermostat opens permanently or the thermistor provides incorrect temperature data — the dryer may produce no heat, run too hot, take too long to dry, overheat, or display temperature-related error codes. It measures 1-5/8"L x 1-5/8"W x 2"H with approximately 1-5/8" between mounting holes and is constructed from black/gray plastic and metal. It directly replaces WP8557403, 1180102, AP6013164, EAP11746386, PD00003588, and PS11746386. Note: the exhaust duct thermostat and thermal fuse are separate parts — if those have also failed, they must be ordered separately. Installs in 15–20 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 8557403 Dryer High-Limit Thermostat with Thermistor fixes Whirlpool Duet, Maytag MED, and related dryers with no heat, overheating, or erratic temperature.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Electric Dryers Only Disconnect power before beginning. The 8557403 thermostat/thermistor assembly is typically located on the heating element housing or duct inside the dryer — access it by removing the back panel. On Whirlpool Duet and Maytag front-load-style dryers, the component may be accessible by removing the lower front panel. Photograph all wire connections before disconnecting — the thermistor wires and thermostat wires must be reconnected to the correct terminals. Remove the two mounting screws and pull the old assembly off. Note the position and orientation before removing. Install the new 8557403 assembly in the same position and orientation, reconnect all wires, and reinstall the mounting screws and panel. Restore power and run a test heat cycle to confirm normal operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this part unusual — why does it combine a thermostat and a thermistor?
The WP8557403 is a combined assembly used on newer Whirlpool Duet and Maytag MED series dryers that use electronic temperature control rather than purely mechanical thermostats. The high-limit thermostat (L146-44C) provides the traditional safety function — it opens the circuit if dryer temperature exceeds 295°F. The integrated NTC thermistor continuously reports resistance-based temperature data to the electronic control board, which uses the data to regulate the heating element and control cycle timing. Both functions are built into a single compact housing, making this a unique part that replaces what older dryers used to handle with separate components.
How do I test the thermostat and thermistor?
Set your multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. For the thermostat portion: probe the thermostat terminals — at room temperature, a working thermostat shows closed continuity (near-zero resistance). An open circuit at room temperature confirms the thermostat has failed. For the thermistor portion: probe the thermistor terminals — at room temperature (approximately 25°C/77°F), a working 50-ohm NTC thermistor should read approximately 50 ohms. A reading of zero ohms (shorted) or open circuit (no continuity) confirms the thermistor has failed. Either failure mode warrants replacing the complete 8557403 assembly.
What is the difference between 8557403 and WP8557403?
These are the same part. WP8557403 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original 8557403. The 1180102 is also a cross-reference for this same assembly. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all of these numbers.
Do I also need to replace the thermal fuse or cycling thermostat?
The 8557403 replaces the high-limit thermostat and thermistor mounted on the heating element housing area. The exhaust duct thermal fuse (WP3392519 on most Whirlpool-family dryers) and cycling thermostat (WP3387134) are separate components located on the exhaust duct and are not included in or replaced by the 8557403. If your dryer has no heat, test all thermal components before ordering — check the 8557403 assembly, the thermal fuse, and the cycling thermostat, then order only what has failed. If an overheating event caused the high-limit to fail, the other thermal components may be stressed as well.
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 plastic and metal with an L146-44C thermostat and 50-ohm NTC thermistor to match the specifications and performance of the original WP8557403 assembly.
