I purchased this switch to replace the dryer door switch on my old Whirlpool dryer (model number LEQ9030PQ0). I recognized that when I would shut the door and attempt to start the dryer it would not start. After many various attempts (such as slamming the door, slowly closing the door, etc.), I finally recognized that if I lifted on the handle as I closed the door that it would finally shut. Then I noticed on the top right of the inside of the dryer that there was a little black latch. And that the latch was actually broken. If I pressed on it, I would hear a click. I pressed the latch and then attempted to start the dryer and it would start! Because the latch was broken off, it wasn't long enough for the door to close on it, causing the dryer to not recognize that the door was closed. That's where this part comes into play...This switch was quickly shipped, packaged well and functioned perfectly. Very easy to install (given where the part is). Switch was made of a heavy duty plastic, which appears to be a better quality than the original that came on my dryer.I repair various electronics for a living/hobby (from cellular devices to cars to HVAC units). I prefer to repair something than paying someone else to do so, because if it's already broken I likely can't break it much more! So I would strongly encourage others to do the same.
