Frigidaire Door Switch 134813663 OEM Part

The Door Switch, an original component produced by the manufacturer, is specifically crafted for Frigidaire dryers. Located within the door frame, its primary function is to detect if the dryer door is firmly closed. This information is relayed to the control board, ensuring that the dryer operates only when the door is shut to prevent accidental use.

Frigidaire devices, including models under Electrolux, Gibson, Tappan, and Sears-Kenmore, utilize this component. It also fits appliances from Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and select Kenmore models.

Over time, the door switch might experience wear due to frequent opening and shutting of the dryer door. Additionally, any physical damage, like impact or overly tight mounting hardware, can affect its performance.

Signs of a faulty dryer door switch can include the dryer starting with the door open, displaying error messages, or not starting at all due to failure in recognizing a closed door. Incorrect control settings related to the door's status may also emerge.
