Just received Dryer door switch W10169313. Has 3 connectors, dryer has 2 wires-purple & grey. Purple spade only connects to middle spade because of size. Grey wire, on either other spade makes dryer run only with door open?
Please help

I cannot find a wiring diagram for this unit. Your switch will have a Common, a Normally Open and a Normally Closed. You want to be across the Common and Normally Open contacts. Sounds like you are across the Common and Normally closed contacts. Common is often silver others being gold in color or set apart from the other 2 contacts. You may have the wrong switch. When I search this site for the listed switch I get the following Part number: AP4319999
. Click on the picture to get other views and then you can click on them to expand that picture. Looks like you should be across the outer 2 contacts. You could check the switch with a meter to be sure it is OK. Common to Normally Open should be infinite ohms (open) and then 0 ohms when activated. Common to Normally closed should be 0 ohms (closed) and then infinite ohms when activated. |
