How to access switch, remove dryer top
Yes,unplug it,get a putty knife and slide it under the top control panel on each corner,there's two clips one on each side,then when you free up the control panel there's 3 1/4 inch screws,remove them and slide the top panel forwards,there's 2 phillips screws that hold the door switch in place,get a thin tip screw driver,slide it into the plastic wire connector to separate the switch from the harness.i'm pretty sure this is how you get the top off.go here,open top and console and you'll see the clips on the top panel,then go to cabinet parts and the door switch is the common one it's number 41 on the look up part WP3406107 hope this helps you out,

REMOVE TWO SCREWS UNDER THE LINT FILTER DOOR.
USE A FLAT INSTRUMENT SUCH AS A PUTTY KNIFE TO PUSH AGAINST A SPING CLIP IN EACH OF THE FRONT CORNERS OF THE SPACE BETWEEN THE TOP AND FRONT.
ONCE THE SPRING CLIPS ARE PUSHED TOWARD THE BACK, YOU CAN LIFT THE TOP AND SWING IT BACK UP AND OUT OF THE WAY. IT IS HINGED AT THE BACK. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE DOOR SWITCH FROM THE OPENED TOP. IF NOT, REMOVE TWO SCREWS LOCATED TOWARD THE TOP FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CABINET.THEN YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SWING THE FRONT
TOP TOWARD YOU. THE DRUM WILL FALL SLIGHTLY BECAUSE IT IS SUPPORTED BY THE FRONT. THIS SHOULD
GIVE YOU ENOUGH ROOM TO ACCESS THE SWITCH.

Depending on the type of door the dryer has, is how you approach the
access of these dryers. Mostly though you yank out the filter
first.Remove the 2 screws in the filter housing on top.Then use a putty
knife to pop the top. Remove the screws holding the front panel on.
VERY IMPORTANT! Raise the front up an inch before pulling forward or
the panel clips will break! Some models have a panel on bottom. If they
do then this panel must come off first. Then you remove the door
springs and back off the screws holding down the bottom of the door
panel. Then pop the top and remove the screws on top to get the panel
out so you can replace the door switch and actuator assembly:

I'm not too familiar with the model but you either have screws that are just above the door (open the door first) or two metal tabs in the front that hold the top on the dryer. The two metal tabs can be seen if you take a flashlight and look where the top meets the front about 8" from each side roughly. A flatblade screwdriver inserted at the top of these fasteners will release them from the top. Next have a 5/16 nut driver to remove the two screws on each side holding the front onto the sides. There may be screws at the bottom as well. You may not have to remove the front at all. Also HAVE THE POWER DISCONNECTED! Don't want ya to get fried. Remove the leads from the door switch on the right and remove.
