Right after my dryer drum interior light went out , I noticed that the dryer would no longer automatically stop upon opening the door. I noticed the small button (which I assume stops and starts whenever the door is opened or closed) was completely pushed in. I'm not sure if the two things are related. I have tried to obtain a wiring diagram, but have not been successful. The dryer is twelve years old and in very good condition, otherwise.

Yes, should be both wired to the same switch. I would check it for trapped lint possibly holding the switch in.


Good Luck,
Morrowrj
