How to replace a door switch on a kenmore elite steam dryer model #79272000?

Another possible reason why your Kenmore Elite Oasis dryer model 110.67042600 won't start is because the door switch is defective. The door switch is located on the door of the dryer. To check the door switch:
1. Unplug the dryer from the wall outlet.
2. Open the door of the dryer.
3. Locate the door switch on the door of the dryer.
4. Use a multimeter to test the door switch for continuity.
If the door switch is defective, it will need to be replaced.

If the dryer comes on and sounds like the motor is running, your most likely failure would be a broken belt. This is replaced by removing the top first, then the toe kick, and the front door and panel. Pleazer Appliance...

Most common cause for the F35 error code: Using non-HE detergent. Detergent slime builds up in the hose, eventually getting into the analog pressure switch and killing it. Make sure you flush out as much soap as possible and make sure to use HE soap or it can keep occurring, also some vinger can calm down the suds

Check the door switch. Push it by hand and you should hear it click. If no click is heard, replace the door switch with this part.
If the switch is OK, then the only other problem will be with the thermal fuse located on the rear of the machine. Here is a link to that part.

It sounds like you have a faulty door switch. Switches are typically inexpensive. You can find Kenmore dryer switches at PartSelect.com (you just have to know what you're looking for):

Take pantyhose around the inside and see if it catches.
Pay particular attention around the drum/door area.

Look inside the door and get me the model number. May be the gas control solenoids need replaced. Let me know, Sea Breeze

unplug dryer, then take the top off and check your connections to door switch.i believe this model has a broke belt switch.open the bottom with the machine unplugged and reach inside and see if the belt is broke.if it is then replace the belt.

IF YOU MEAN THAT THE DRYER STARTS BACK UP WHEN YOU CLOSE THE DOOR, THE PUSH TO START SWITCH IS SHORTED. CHECK TO SEE IF THE PUSH TO START BUTTON IS STUCK PRESSED IN AND NOT SPRINGING BACK OUT.
IF IT IS STUCK, TRY WD-40 TO LOOSTEN IT. OTHERWISE, REPLACE THE SWITCH.

IF THE DRYER KEEPS RUNNING WHEN YOU "OPEN" THE DOOR, THE DOOR SWITCH IS SHORTED. REPLACE THE DOOR SWITCH.
