GE Dryer door latch / door catch WG04A04455, Replaces 308D1127P001, WE01X29738

Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Door pops open during a cycle.
• Door does not latch or requires unusual pressure to close.
• Latch or surrounding door hardware is visibly cracked, broken, or displaced.
• Dryer may not operate if the door cannot close far enough for the door-sensing system to recognize closure.

Check Before Replacing

• With the dryer unplugged, inspect the latch and mating door strike/catch for visible cracks, looseness, or displacement.
• Check for clothing, lint, packaging material, or other debris blocking the latch opening.
• Close the door normally and verify that the latch engages without excessive force; do not force or bypass the latch.
• Inspect the door alignment and hinges for obvious sagging or damage before replacing the latch.
• If the latch appears intact but the door still will not remain closed, have the door strike, hinges, and door-sensing circuit evaluated rather than assuming the latch is defective.

Installation Notes

• Disconnect electrical power to the dryer before servicing.
• Use protective work gloves because the door and surrounding sheet-metal edges may be sharp.
• Follow the appliance-specific GE service or installation documentation for access to the latch.
• Remove and retain the original latch fasteners if the model-specific procedure requires them, and reinstall the replacement in the same orientation.
• After reassembly, restore power and verify that the door closes and latches normally; do not operate the dryer if the door does not secure properly.
