Where is the door actuator or switch located - Kenmore 62602 Electric Dryer

Sorry Andrew , no BCM on this vehicle . The Central Security Module is incharge of power door locks . Central Security Module For additional information, refer to Section 419-10 .
The central security module is equipped with a battery back-up which holds the programmed transmitter(s) memory in the event of the vehicle battery disconnection.
Principles of Operations The Door Switch Lock Function When a door lock switch is moved into the lock position or a door lock cylinder is rotated to the lock position, the door lock switch grounds the lock circuit input to the central security module. The central security module then provides 12 volts to one side of the door lock actuators contained in the door latch unit and simultaneously grounds the other side of the door lock actuators. This completes the door lock actuator circuit, causing the door lock actuators to rotate a cam assembly, which then locks the doors.

The Door Switch Unlock Function When a door lock switch is moved into the unlock position, the door lock switch grounds the unlock circuit input to the central security module. The central security module then provides 12 volts to the opposite side (relative to locking the door) of the door lock actuator(s) contained in the door latch unit and simultaneously grounds the other side of the door lock actuator(s). This completes the door lock actuator circuit, causing the door lock actuator(s) to rotate a cam assembly in the opposite direction, which then unlocks the door(s). The 12 volts which the central security module provides to the door lock actuator(s) are provided to each door lock actuator from the individual pins on the central security module connector.

Keyless Entry When a remote transmitter button is depressed, it transmits the appropriate command to the central security module as a radio frequency. The central security module receives the command from the remote transmitter through an antenna, which is incorporated in the central security module.
When the central security module receives a command from the remote transmitter, it then sends the appropriate output to control the desired devices. These outputs devices include:

• The front and rear door lock units.
• Central timer module (CTM).
• The liftgate release motor.
• The right and left side turn signal lamp(s).

The central security module sends a signal to the CTM when courtesy lamp illumination is required.
Computer Operated Locks Each front door lock actuator contains a bipolar motor that controls the lock and unlock linkage. The lock/unlock lever of both front door interior handles use linkage to actuate the lever lock switch located inside each front door lock actuator. Each lever lock switch remains in the unlock position until lock/unlock lever of the interior door handle is moved to the lock position. This action toggles the lever lock switch to the lock position. The central security module uses only one electrical input for both lever lock switches. The central security module cannot determine whether the driver or passenger door lever lock switch was actuated. Therefore, actuating the lock feature from either front door will have the same affect of locking all doors. Actuating the unlock feature will not unlock any other door.
The door lock control switches for both front doors also use only one input to the central security module.
Both rear passenger doors contain a rear door lock actuator that controls only electric lock or unlock of the door. Actuating the lock/unlock lever at either rear passenger door will have no effect on other doors.
The panic feature of the remote transmitter sounds the vehicle horn when the vehicle is not equipped with anti-theft. If the vehicle is equipped with anti-theft feature, a separate horn is sounds for the panic feature.

Could be any number of thing's causing this problem . Knowing what all is involved in the locking an unlocking of the doors is key . Computer controlled by the BCM - body control module , relays ,wiring ,switches etc... Bad input from switch or grounding wire to the BCM could make the BCM think door unlock has been requested .
Door Lock System Components
The power door lock system consists of the following components:
• Driver door lock switch--Provides a switched voltage signal to the body control module (BCM) for both lock and unlock switch activations.
• Front passenger door lock switch--Provides a switched voltage signal to the BCM for both lock and unlock switch activations.
• Door lock relay--Located in the instrument panel (I/P) fuse block and controls the locking of all doors and liftgate.
• Door unlock relay--Located in the I/P fuse block and controls the unlocking of the passenger doors and liftgate.
• Driver door unlock relay--Located in the I/P fuse block and controls the unlocking of the driver door.
• BCM--Class 2 module which requires programming when replaced
• Reversible door lock actuators in each of the doors
• LOCK/MIRROR 10 A fuse--Located in the I/P fuse block, supplies power for the door lock switches and relays.
• DR LCK 20 A fuse--Located in the I/P fuse block, supplies power to the relays

Door Lock System Controls
The power door lock system can be controlled by any of the following:
• Power door lock switch activation
• Keyless entry lock or unlock command
• Delayed locking command
• Automatic door lock command
• Lockout prevention command
• An air bag deployment
Door Lock and Unlock Operation
When a door lock switch is activated in the lock or unlock position the body control module (BCM) will receive a voltage signal on either the door lock switch lock or unlock signal circuits.
The BCM, upon receipt of a lock switch lock or unlock signal, will switch the appropriate lock relay control circuit(s) to battery positive voltage. This will energize the appropriate lock or unlock relay(s). The relay will supply voltage to the door lock actuator lock or unlock control circuits to one side of the lock actuator. Since the opposing side of the lock actuators are connected to ground through the other lock actuator control circuit and the normally closed contacts of the lock or unlock relay, the doors and liftgate will then lock or unlock appropriately.
Three relays are used to operate the lock. Driver door unlock, passenger door unlock and all door lock. This is done to isolate the driver door lock actuator so it can be unlocked by itself using the keyless entry transmitter.

Automatic Door Lock Operation
This body control module (BCM) controlled feature can be personalized to driver preference.
The BCM will automatically lock the vehicle doors if the following conditions exist:
• All vehicles doors are closed.
• The ignition is in the ON position.
• The vehicle is shifted out of PARK.
The BCM will then unlock the doors when the ignition is placed in the OFF position.

Power Door Locks Circuit Description
Models Without Keyless Entry
When either door lock switch is pressed in the power door locks system, all doors lock or unlock in unison. Each lock can also be operated manually from the locking knob.
The locks are operated by reversible actuators that receive voltage from the door lock relay assembly's two built-in relays. The relays energize the actuators by applying voltage to one of the terminals and ground to the other terminal. In order to reverse the actuators, the polarity to the terminals is reversed.
The door lock switches are usually closed briefly. If the door lock switches are held closed, a circuit breaker in each actuator will open to protect against damage. The circuit breaker resets only after voltage is removed from the actuator.
Lock Operation
Pressing the lock position on either door lock switch sends a voltage signal in CKT 195.
Pressing the lock position turns on the lock relay located inside the door lock relay assembly. The lock relay completes the circuit that supplies voltage to CKT 295. CKT 295 is the voltage feed to the actuators.
At this time, the unlock relay is not energized. When the unlock relay is off, CKT 294 is grounded, which provides a ground path to the door lock actuators.
The entire action described completes the electrical circuit the actuators in each door, thus locking the doors.
When the door lock switch is released, the lock relay contact closes to ground, and the actuators turn off.
Unlock Operation
Pressing the unlock position on either door lock switch sends a voltage signal in CKT 194.
Pressing the unlock position turns on the unlock relay located inside the door lock relay assembly. The unlock relay completes the circuit that supplies voltage to CKT 294. CKT 294 is the voltage feed to the actuators.
At this time, the lock relay is not energized. When the lock relay is off, CKT 295 is grounded, which provides a ground path to the door lock actuator.
The entire action described completes the electrical circuit to the actuators in each door, thus unlocking the doors. The polarity of the voltage to the actuators has reversed, causing the actuators to run in the opposite direction in order to unlock the doors.
Models Equipped With Keyless Entry
All door locks operate the same as vehicle models equipped without keyless entry, except the left front door lock.
Lock Operation
Pressing the lock position on either door lock switch sends a voltage signal in CKT 195.
Pressing the lock position turns on the lock relay located inside the door lock relay assembly. The lock relay completes the circuit that supplies voltage to CKT 295. CKT 295 is the voltage feed to the actuators.
At this time, the lock relay is not energized. When the lock relay is off, CKT 295 is grounded, which provides a ground path to all door lock actuators, except left front door lock actuator.
The left front door actuator is grounded through the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver, RCDLR, CKT 694. The RCDLR has a built-in relay. When the built-in relay is de-energized, the relay provides a path to ground to the left front door actuator.
The entire action described completes the electrical circuit to the actuators in each door, thus locking the doors.
When the door lock switch is released, the lock relay contact closes to ground, and the actuators turn off.
Unlock Operation
Pressing the unlock position on either door lock switch sends a voltage signal in CKT 194. The signal is sent to both the unlock relay located inside the door lock relay and the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver, RCDLR.
Pressing the unlock position turns on the unlock relay, and signals the RCDLR to unlock the left front door. the unlock relay completes the circuit that supplies voltage to CKT 294. CKT 294 is the voltage feed to the actuators, except the left front door lock actuator.
The left front door actuator receives voltage through the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver, RCDLR, CKT 694. the RCDLR has a built-in relay. When the built-in relay is energized, the relay provides a voltage to the left front door actuator. The RCDLR energizes the relay when it receives a voltage in CKT 194.
At this time, the lock relay is not energized. When the lock relay is off, CKT 295 is grounded, which provides a ground path to all door lock actuators.
The left front door actuator is grounded through the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver, RCDLR, CKT 694. The RCDLR has a built-in relay. When the built-in relay is de-energized, the relay provides a path to ground the left front door actuator.
The entire action described completes the electrical circuit to the actuators in each door, thus locking the doors.
When the door lock switch is released, the unlock relay contact closes to ground, the RCDLR left door unlock control relay contacts close to ground, and the actuators turn off.

Power door lock's are controlled by the BCM - body control module . Are you familiar with automotive electronic's ?
Door Lock System Components
The power door lock system consists of the following components:
• Driver door lock switch--Uses a single signal wire for both lock and unlock switch activations
• Front passenger door lock switch--Uses a single signal wire for both lock and unlock switch activations
• Body control module (BCM)--Class 2 module which requires programming when replaced
• Reversible door lock actuators in each of the doors
• Body control module PWR 15A fuse--Located in the body control module fuse panel, supplies power for the door lock system

Door Lock and Unlock Operation
The BCM PWR fuse supplies battery positive voltage to the BCM for the door lock system.
The BCM supplies and monitors a reference voltage to the door lock switch through the door lock switch lock/unlock signal circuit. The door lock switch also receives a constant ground source. If a door lock switch is placed in the lock position, the reference voltage is taken directly to ground and the BCM senses 0.0 volts on the signal circuit. If a door lock switch is placed in the unlock position, the reference voltage is taken to ground through a 1.5K ohm resistor that is internal to the door lock switches and senses approximately 2.9 volts on the signal circuit. This is how the BCM determines what portion of the door lock switch was activated.
The BCM, upon receipt of a door lock switch lock or unlock signal, will switch the appropriate door lock actuator control circuits to battery positive voltage. The opposing side of the door lock actuators are connected to ground internally within the BCM through the other door lock actuator control circuit and the doors will lock or unlock appropriately.
Vehicles without keyless entry have two internal drivers in the BCM to control the door lock actuators. All door lock and all door unlock. Vehicles equipped with keyless entry have three internal drivers in the BCM. Driver door unlock, passenger door unlock and all door lock. This is done to isolate the driver door lock actuator so it can be unlocked by itself using the keyless entry transmitter.

Power Door Locks System Components
The power lock system consists of the following components:
• Body control module (BCM)
• Driver door lock cylinder switch
• Front passenger door lock cylinder switch
• Driver door lock switch
• Front passenger door lock switch
• Door lock actuators in each of the doors
• DR LK Fuse 20-amp
Door Lock System Controls
The Power Door Lock System is controlled by the body control module (BCM) and can be activated by any one of the following:
• A door lock switch lock or unlock actuation
• A door lock cylinder switch unlock actuation
• A keyless entry transmitter actuation
• An automatic door lock actuation (Personalization function)
• An automatic door unlock actuation (Personalization function)
Door Lock Operation
When the body control module (BCM) detects a transition of either of the door lock switches to the lock position, it switches the door lock actuator lock control circuit to voltage. Since the lock actuator unlock control circuits are at ground potential within the BCM, the door lock actuator motors transition to the lock position.
Driver Door Unlock Operation
When the body control module (BCM) detects a transition of either of the door lock switches to the unlock position, it switches the driver door lock actuator unlock control circuit to voltage. Since the door lock actuator lock control circuit is at ground potential within the BCM, the left front (LF) door lock actuator motor transitions to the Unlock position.
The driver door lock actuator unlock control circuit is a dedicated control circuit used only for the driver door lock actuator motor. This is done so that the driver door may be unlocked by itself using a keyless entry transmitter or an automatic door unlock function (if programmed).
Passenger Door Unlock Operation
When the body control module (BCM) detects a transition of either of the door lock switches to the unlock position, it switches the door lock actuator unlock control circuits to voltage. Since the door lock actuator lock control circuit is at ground potential within the BCM, the passenger door lock actuator motors transition to the unlock position.
The door lock actuator unlock control circuits are dedicated control circuits used only for the passenger door lock actuator motors. This is done so that the driver door may be unlocked separate from the passenger doors using a keyless entry transmitter or an automatic door unlock function (if programmed).

Is the door ajar light on when you drive? Fords have a actuator switch that gets grease in them and slows movement till it sticks, Its just a simple piston type switch, that moves up and down roughly 1/8 inch. If it is the door actuator, Spray wd 40 or compatable spray lube in the door lock actuator, pointing downward as the switch is located on the very bottom of the actuator pointing up, Open and shut the doors a few times and this will cure the issue, Be sure to be generous with the wd 40, It will make it last longer

The dryer will not start with a broken door switch. Replace the door switch if found defective.

Most dryers have a door switch actuator lever - when you close a dryer door, it presses against the lever, which actuates the door switch. If the lever is broken, the switch will not activate and the dryer will not start. Replace the lever, if broken.

Note: Door switch actuator lever usually comes with the door switch assembly and it is recommended to get the whole assembly since there is almost no price difference between the door switch assembly and just the lever.


I would also check the thermal fuse as well. it is located on the vent duct or blower housing. If this fuse is damaged or tripped, it will not allow the dryer to run as well.

Check the following to address this issue.

Note: Door switch actuator lever usually comes with the door switch assembly and it is recommended to get the whole assembly since there is almost no price difference between the door switch assembly and just the lever. Check your model for more details.

Thermal fuse
Most dryers have a thermal fuse, which burns out when the dryer overheats, in which case the dryer will either not run at all or stop heating. The fuse is usually located on the vent duct, inside the dryer. A blown fuse will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Before replacing the fuse, make sure the blower wheel is not broken or clogged, and there is nothing blocking the venting.

If all the above inspection check out ok and, the door switch or actuator is functional, replace the timer or control board.
