H0180801063 Genuine Dryer Door Lock Switch for Fisher & Paykel, Haier Dryers DH9060P1 DH9060P2 DH9060FS1 DH9060C1 HDHP80E1 HDHP80AW1

Fisher & Paykel uses door lock switch H0180801063 on the DH9060C1 and DH9060FS1, the DH9060FSG1, and the DH9060P1, DH9060P2 and DH9060PG2 dryers, and Haier uses it on the HDHP80E1 and HDHP80AW1. This genuine part holds the door closed and signals the controls that it is safe to start. If the door will not catch or the dryer ignores the start button, it is a likely culprit.

Dryer won't start or door won't stay closed?

Inside the door lock assembly, a catch grips the door and a switch confirms to the controls that the door is shut. Without that signal the dryer will not start a cycle, and if the signal drops out mid-cycle the dryer stops. Common symptoms include the door springing open, a display showing door open while it is closed, or a dryer that only runs when the door is pressed. Broken catches, burnt contacts and worn plastic can all cause it, and a damaged door hook should be checked at the same time.

Changing the door lock

Unplug the dryer before removing any panels. Photograph the wiring connections on the old lock, then release it from the cabinet front. Move the connectors across one at a time so nothing is mixed up, mount the new lock and check the door closes with a firm click. Run a short cycle to confirm the dryer starts and keeps running.

Questions about this part

Could it be the door hook rather than the lock?

Yes. If the hook on the door is cracked, bent or worn, it will not engage the lock properly even with a good switch. Look at the hook first. If it is intact and the door still will not catch or the dryer will not start, the lock is the likely fault.
