Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Door will not close or latch
• Door pops open during use
• Dryer may not start if the unlatched door prevents the door switch from actuating

Check Before Replacing

• With the dryer unplugged, inspect the catch for cracking, distortion, looseness, or missing sections.
• Check the mating door strike for bending, damage, or misalignment; the catch and strike work together.
• Look for lint or other obstruction in the catch opening and remove only loose debris without forcing the mechanism.
• After installation, close the door gently and confirm that the strike enters the catch and the door remains closed before reconnecting power.
