The switch has a push button on it it may have gotten stuck in a closed position best to replace it. Also check the mechanism that attaches to the switch it may have gotten bent you might try straightening it or just replace it. the switch should have three wires to it and is located by door

Door switch If the door switch or the door-switch actuator is defective, the dryer won't work and you need to replace the failed component. The switch is inside the dryer main housing near the door frame. Sometimes you need to raise or open the top or front of the dryer to reach the switch.Check online for the part repairclinic.com has it for $14.00 not bad

Three spade connectors and two wires. Which connects where?

Each terminal is not the same size on most of the 3 wire door switches. Also one side of the switch usually has a white wire and the the other side has a light and the motor wire. Note: if you get em bass ackwards the motor will run with the door open. Light will be on with door shut dryer wont run.

Dyer wont stop when door opened

there is a switch on the door this would be my first place to check the mechanism that pushes on the switch may be broken and locking the actual switch in the closed position or the switch itself. this should be a simple fix. you may be able to bend mechanism back into correct shape or you may need to buy a new switch to replace the one on door

Dryer light stays on when door is shut nd wont run

check the door switch,i don't work on lg but on any other dryer if the wsitch is broke the dryer won't start and if the light is on the switch shuts off the light and dryer will start.if you send the model number i can look up the switch for you.open the door and look around the frame where the door closes into,there should be a push button switch or a little paddle that the door hits,when you push in on the switch it should make a clicking sound or i've seen the paddle broke off.hope this helps or if you removed any wires to the door switch you might of wired it wrong

I have a tumble dryer.

Sounds as if the door switch is the problem. This is normally a safety switch that stops the dryer when the door is opened.
Unplug the dryer.
Remove the door switch and check the switch condition with a continuity meter after removing the wires. Try turning the switch on and off....the meter should read power on and off when you do that.
You may have to remove the front of the dryer to get to the door switch.
Good luck,
I hope this helps

My fisher and paykel dryer ( mod# ED56 ) wont start, power is on

I had this same problem with my Dryer. It is making the few quick beeps because it thinks the door is still open. Near the bottom of the opening to the dryer there is a sensor switch that gets pushed in when you shut the door. Try holding the switch in with a knife or something and then start the dryer with the door open to check if that is the problem.
After i did this, i closed the door and my dryer started as normal.

Dryer wont work!

A couple suggestions: (1) The switch in the front may be bad. It's the switch that turns the dryer off when you open the door. (2) Make sure the door latch keeps the door shut. If it is worn and the door isn't shut tight, the switch will not let it start. Hope this helps.
