Customer Questions and Answers for Latch by Bosch

The Dryer Door Latch is an OEM part for Bosch clothes dryers. Located on the dryer cabinet door, this latch mechanism securely holds the door closed during drying cycles. Its durable construction allows smooth, controlled opening and closing of the dryer door.

Symptoms of a bad dryer door latch include:

• Excess air leaks reducing drying efficiency
• The door opening inadvertently during dryer cycles

This genuine Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore models.
