Common Symptoms

  • Door will not close properly
  • Door will not lock
  • Washer may not start because the door-closed condition is not detected
  • Door-area leaking may occur if a damaged strike prevents proper closure

Check Before Replacing

  • With power disconnected, inspect the strike for cracking, looseness, deformation, or missing material.
  • Compare the strike’s mounting and engagement position with the latch opening; do not operate the washer if the door cannot close and lock securely.
  • Check whether the latch engages the strike when the door is closed; a failed latch or misaligned door can produce similar symptoms.

Pro Tip

Inspect the door latch and door alignment at the same time, because either can cause symptoms similar to a damaged strike.
