Common Symptoms
- Door will not close or latch securely
- Door pops open during operation
- Dryer may not start or may stop if the door cannot remain closed
Check Before Replacing
- With the dryer disconnected from power, inspect the catch for visible cracks, deformation, looseness, or obstruction.
- Inspect the mating door strike to confirm it is present, aligned, and not bent or damaged.
- Close the door slowly and verify that the strike enters the catch cleanly and that the door remains shut without excessive force.
- Do not operate the dryer if the door cannot latch securely.
Pro Tip
Check the door strike and catch together; a damaged or misaligned strike can produce the same latching symptom as a failed catch.
