This kit includes two door strikes, and three door catches, to service doors that have one or two catches. The strike is mounted on the body of the dryer, while the catch is mounted on the dryer door. These two parts work together to keep the dryer door shut while in operation. If your appliances lid will not close, or it will not start, it may be time to replace the door catch. If this part is malfunctioning, it should be replaced immediately, as it is not safe to run a dryer with the door not properly closed. This kit also comes with a set of instructions to help with the repair.

The door catch is a metal piece found on the inside dryer door, which helps to keep the door closed. If the catch is broken the door may not stay securely shut, which can result in the dryer not starting. The door catch would be considered the female part, and the door strike would be the male part (which is sold separately and not as a kit). Replacing the broken catch is an easy repair. Use a putty knife to pop out the top and bottom of the catch, then pull out the entire part from the door. Slide the new part into the opening, and firmly press to latch it into place. You are done! This is a genuine OEM part, which ensures it will be the proper fit for your appliance.

This door catch is an authentic OEM replacement part for your dryer. This part holds the door strike and ensures that the door stays closed while your dryer is running. This prevents hot air or laundry from escaping from the dryer. If your dryer will not start or the door will not stay closed, you may need to replace the door catch. Please be sure to disconnect the power supply to your dryer before beginning this repair.

TThe door strike for your dryer is mounted on the dryer frame that the door shuts onto. It fits into the door catch on the door and keeps the door closed. If the door strike is damaged or missing, the door will not lock properly and not only will this cause the door to swing open, but it won’t allow the dryer to start properly. It is a small piece of metal, about 1 inch in length and is sold individually.
