Current Part Number4026EL3007B
Common Symptoms
- Door does not latch securely.
- Door pops open during a cycle.
- Dryer may not start if the door is not securely latched.
- Visible bending, cracking, or wear on the strike can prevent proper engagement.
Check Before Replacing
- With the dryer unplugged, visually inspect the strike for bending, cracking, looseness, or missing material.
- Close the door slowly and observe whether the strike aligns cleanly with and enters the door catch.
- Check that the door catch and hinge area are not visibly loose or misaligned before attributing the problem to the strike.
- After service, confirm that the door closes and remains latched without forcing it.
Pro Tip
If the strike appears intact but the door does not latch, inspect door-catch and hinge alignment as well; a misaligned door can make an otherwise good strike miss the catch.
