Chosen Solution
Dryer has power, but light inside drum won’t turn off when door is shut, and dryer will not start.
This fix was easy once I figured out what was going on. Light was staying on because door switch located at 12 o’clock position on the dryer body behind the door was not being depressed fully when door was closed. When I pushed this in manually, the dryer started fine. Then the question was how to fix it. This was easy, too. On the back of the door, the part of the door that is responsible for depressing the door switch is raised relative to the rest of the door surface, and (this is the best part), there is a screw in this raised portion that can be backed off to depress the door switch more fully. Once I backed this screw off a bit (approx 1/8” to 1/4”), the problem went away and dryer started fine. See photos. Not sure why this problem started now; maybe the door switch will give out soon. At any rate, the fix above works perfectly right now.
