How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power at the breaker before working on the dryer.

  • Check for obstructions: Remove any clothing or debris caught around the door seal or latch area.
  • Verify alignment: Gently lift or push the door to see if hinges are loose or sagging. Tighten hinge screws if needed.
  • Inspect door switch actuator: Ensure the door strike fully presses the switch lever or button when closed.
  • Access switch: Remove the top/front panel to reach the door switch. Reseat the connector and check for corrosion or loose pins.
  • Test and replace: Use a multimeter to test the switch. Replace the Samsung door switch if it does not change state when actuated.
