Hi!

First of all please check whether the door gasket might be loose due to which the door is not staying locked. Please also check if the lid switch is the problem. First please try to jump it out and start the washer. That may be the problem. Please remove the main controll so you can get to the lid switch. Please do not remove the screws all the way out to avoid felling of metal clip into the body of the washer you just have to loose them and then slide out the lid switch & then replace it.

Please tell me the model number of your Unit so that i can provide you with model specific information.

Please do accept this solution and revert for further assistance.

Thanks
Rylee

My Whirpool dishwasher continues to run when we open the door instead of automatically stopping.

There is a small microswitch that tells the control board if the door is open or closed. Yours is closed circuit, passing current all the time. Generic Whirlpool dishwasher videos. Please always include full 'make model (what it is)' as first 3 words of every question.

Frigadare dryer wont stay running

Hello emergsvc - From what you are describing it could be a number of issues that dryer could be experiencing. The unit could possibly have a wiring failure, communication error from the control board, faulty door lock assembly or power supply. I strongly suggest contacting a professional to accurately diagnosis the unit and to properly assist with the repairs.

CONTROL LOOK STAYS ON

This usually means you have a problem with the door lock/latch assembly. Replace it with the part linked below.

Dryer will not start after bulb burned out.

moch, the fact that the light is staying on when the door is closed leads me to believe that the door switch is the culprit. If that switch is not made you will not start. See if the pin is broken off. Start there and let me know. Catriver.
