Title	Whirlpool Dryer Door Switch Testing and Replacement
Introduction	Use this guide to replace the door switch on your Whirlpool dryer. It includes steps to test the switch as well. ***This guide will work for most Whirlpool dryers.*** This guide is written with a model WED87HED dryer. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same. The door switch makes sure your dryer motor won't start turning the drum if the door is open and stops it if the door is opened in the middle of a cycle. When your dryer won't start, the door switch can be the cause.
