Section 7 Test Procedures
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect electric power to the dryer(s) before servicing.
• Close gas shut-off valve to gas dryer(s) before servicing.
• Never start the dryer(s) with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be
reconnected to ensure that the dryer is properly grounded.

75. DOOR SWITCH
a. While supporting the access panel, remove two
screws from bottom edge of access panel. See
Figure 7.
b. Gently lower the access panel to disengage
locators from bottom edge of front panel. See
Figure 7.
c. Disconnect wires from door switch. See
NOTE: Refer to appropriate model wiring diagram
when rewiring door switch.
d. Set meter to read Ohms and apply meter probes
on switch terminals 1 and 3 with door closed.
You should get “zero” reading.
e. Apply probes to terminals 1 and 2 with door
closed. The meter should read “infinite”.
f. Open door. Meter should read “infinite”
between 1 and 3 and “zero” between 1 and 2.
76. PUSH-TO-START SWITCH
a. Unlock control panel. See Figure 8A.
b. Pull top of control panel away from control
cabinet and lift up. See Figure 8B.
c. Remove control panel from control cabinet. See

e. Remove ground clip holding ground wire to
control panel. See Figure 9.
NOTE: Refer to appropriate wiring diagram when
reconnecting wires.
f. Unplug dryer from electrical supply and
disconnect wires from switch terminals.
g. Set Volt-Ohm meter on OHMS scale and
calibrate at appropriate scale.
h. Place meter probes on switch terminals. You
should see an “infinite” reading on the meter.
i. With probes attached to switch, press the start
switch button. Meter should read “0” Ohms.
