Whirlpool / Kenmore dryer not stoping when door is opened or starting. Dryer repair in Corona Ca. & East Vale Ca. with Apco Appliance and Air, your neighborhood Appliance repair company. This dryer would not turn off when the customer opens there door while the dryer is running. In the top left coroner of the door jam on this Whirlpool / Kenmore style dryer is a black lever that engages and disengages the dryer safty door switch. When this lever breaks (lever is molded along with switch so you have to replace the hole door switch) the dryer will either not run anymore, or have the same issue as this customer has, were the unit does not shut off when the door is opened. Changing this switch is not to hard. Always unplug the machine!!! You take a butter knife to POP up the control panel, remove the 3 screws holding the top on, unplug door switch and then remove the 2 screws holding the switch to the frame located in door jam. Repeat steps backwards to install new switch. Here are some pics...
