Door open-dryer keeps running, inside light off

When dryer door is opened it keeps running. Won't turn off unless the timer is set to off. Inside light stopped working at the same time this started.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

dgd8 sounds like the lid switch is somehow failed/disengaged. We would need a make and model number for your dryer to see if we can help you further to resolve this issue.

I'm trying to see if there's a way to reset the dryer before getting a new door switch. Also, because the light went out at the exact same time. Could be a coincidence, but it seems like something tripped it.

Hi@dgd8,

Is the timer advancing to off by itself ?

It may be a faulty timer / timer contact that is allowing the dryer to run on.

Just a thought.
