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.
