Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Door does not latch or click shut
• Door pops open during operation
• Dryer may not start if the door switch is not engaged
• Visible cracking, breakage, or deformation of the catch

Check Before Replacing

• With the dryer unplugged, visually inspect the catch for cracks, looseness, deformation, or missing sections.
• Inspect the mating door strike for bending, breakage, or misalignment.
• Close the door gently and confirm that the catch engages the strike and holds the door without excessive force.
• If the door appears to latch correctly but the dryer still will not start, do not assume the catch is the cause; the door switch and other circuits may require separate diagnosis.
