This Part Fixes These Problems

Won't Start

Dryer does not start when door is closed — the faulty switch fails to signal the control board that the door is latched, preventing the cycle from initiating.

Won't Shut Off

Dryer continues to run after the door is opened — switch contacts are stuck closed and no longer signal the dryer to stop when the door opens.

Intermittent Starting

Dryer starts only when the door is slammed, or stops unexpectedly mid-cycle — indicates worn or intermittently failing switch contacts inside the assembly.

Drum Light Not Working

Interior drum light stays off when door is open or stays illuminated when door is closed — the door switch also controls the drum light circuit on many Whirlpool-platform dryers.

💡 Pro Tip: How to Diagnose a Failed Dryer Door Switch

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Dryer will not start even though the door appears fully closed

⚠️ Dryer keeps running after you open the door (won't shut off)

⚠️ Dryer starts intermittently or only starts when the door is slammed hard

⚠️ Drum light stays off when door is open, or stays on when door is closed

Quick test: Set your multimeter to continuity mode. With the door open, probe the switch terminals — a good switch will show continuity on the normally-closed (NC) circuit and no continuity on the normally-open (NO) circuit. Press the plunger manually: the readings should swap. If you get no change, the switch has failed and needs replacement.

Questions & Answers

Will the 3-wire 3406105 switch work as a direct replacement for my old 2-wire 3406104?

Answered by Support Team · Mar 15, 2024

Yes. The manufacturer officially discontinued the original 2-wire design and replaced it with this updated 3-wire WP3406105 assembly. The third wire is an added neutral lead; the switch is fully backward-compatible and will function correctly on all models that originally used the 2-wire 3406104.

How do I know if my door switch is the problem and not the door latch or thermal fuse?

Answered by Support Team · Nov 20, 2023

Use a multimeter set to continuity mode. Unplug the dryer, remove the switch, and probe its terminals. With the plunger released (door open), the NC terminals should show continuity; pressing the plunger (simulating door closed) should break that circuit and complete the NO circuit. If the readings do not change, the switch is faulty. A blown thermal fuse will cause no-heat but the drum may still spin; a bad latch won't depress the switch plunger at all.

Does this switch fit Kenmore dryers with model numbers starting with 110.?

Answered by Support Team · Jan 8, 2025

Yes. Kenmore dryers with 110-series model numbers are manufactured by Whirlpool and use the same door switch platform. As long as your Kenmore model is a Whirlpool-built unit (most are), the 3406105 switch is compatible. We recommend verifying your full model number against our compatibility list before ordering.

The new switch comes with 3 wires but my harness connector only has 2 pins — how do I connect it?

Answered by Support Team · Jul 22, 2024

The updated WP3406105 assembly includes a new 3-wire pigtail harness with a single multi-pin connector that replaces the old 2-pin connector. You will connect this new harness to the dryer's wiring using the supplied connector. The extra terminal handles an additional circuit function (drum light or belt switch on certain models). The installation video on our product page demonstrates the exact wiring procedure.

What is the electrical rating of this door switch and is it safe for both electric and gas dryers?

Answered by Support Team · Feb 10, 2026

Yes, this switch is rated for 120-240V AC, 50-60Hz, 11A, 1/3HP and is suitable for both electric and gas dryer models. The door switch circuit itself only carries low-amperage control voltage (not the full heating element load), so the switch operates identically regardless of whether your dryer uses electric resistance heating or a gas burner.
