To determine if your door lock switch is bad, check if the door is properly latching. If not, the switch may be faulty. Also, test by pressing the switch manually; if the machine doesn't respond, the switch likely needs replacing. Another sign is error codes displayed on your appliance. For a definitive answer, use a multimeter to check the switch's continuity. If there's no continuity, it's time for a replacement.
