    You cannot fully check a door switch as it needs to be powered up to switch correctly. Basically when the switch is pushed by the latch pin this closes a circuit between the live and neutral connections that powers an internal heater. As this heats it causes a bimetal controls switch to close and power the rest of the machine. If your door locks but nothing else works check the motor brushes first.
