Best Answer

typically the framing around a door jamb is doubled (two 2x4's instead of one are used) to account for the additional forces of the door swinging and slamming shut.

the longer screws allow the hinges to attach through both 2x4's.

How do you replace dryer door switch 3406102?

I removed the switch today 6 July 08. There were two screws in the back of the washer attached to the hinges which allow the top of the dryer to open. Two screws that hold the lint trap to the inside of the dryer and two screws that hold the dryer door switch. After you remove all of the screws you can lift the dryer top from the front and it will rotate on the hinges in the back. Then you can unplug the switch and plug in a new one. Hope this helps.
