Possible Causes for Dryer Not Turning Off Unless Door Is Open

The main tool you will need is a multimeter to check the electrical current.

Cause 1: Door Switch Issue

The first and most probable cause of a dryer not turning off is a problem with the door switch.

Cause 2: Thermostat Issue

As you may have guessed, dryers have a thermostat inside of them to regulate the temperature. In fact, they have multiple thermostats.

Cause 3: Faulty Timer
