If your LG DLE2101W dryer continues to run even when the door is open, there might be an issue with the door switch or a related component. The door switch is designed to interrupt the power supply to the dryer when the door is open, ensuring safe operation.
Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can take:
- Check the door switch: Locate the door switch inside the dryer door frame. It is usually a small, rectangular-shaped switch that gets pressed when the door is closed. Check if the switch is damaged, loose, or stuck in the closed position. If the switch appears faulty, it may need to be replaced.
- Inspect the door latch: Examine the door latch mechanism to see if it is properly aligned and functioning correctly. If the latch is misaligned or broken, it may not engage with the door switch properly, causing the dryer to continue running even when the door is open.
- Clean the door switch area: Sometimes, dirt, lint, or debris can accumulate around the door switch, preventing it from operating correctly. Carefully clean the area around the switch using a soft brush or cloth. Ensure that there is no residue obstructing the switch's movement.
- Electrical issue: If the above steps do not resolve the problem, there might be an electrical issue within the dryer's control panel. In this case, it is recommended to contact a professional appliance repair technician to diagnose and fix the problem.
