4. Disconnect the wires from the switch.
5. Mount the new switch on the bracket.

Testing the lint filter switch
1. Connect the power supply to the dryer.
2. Start the dryer.
3. If the dryer does not start when the filter door is closed and the start button is pressed,
check that the filter door is activating the lever on the lint filter switch.
• If the filter switch fails/hangs (without disconnecting) and the filter door is opened,
false air is drawn in and this can cause vacuum error,
error code E15.
4. Confirm that the fan, drum and heat all stop when the filter door is opened during
operation.
