The Door Latch is an OEM part for GE dryers. This part ensures the dryer door stays securely closed during operation, activating the safety switch to allow the dryer to operate. The latch mechanism engages with the door strike to lock the door, preventing it from opening while the dryer is running, which is essential for both safety and proper functioning of the appliance. 

Causes for replacement can include normal wear and tear, accidental damage, or a misalignment that prevents the door from securely latching. 

Symptoms of a bad Door Latch include:

• The dryer door doesn't stay closed during cycles.
• Difficulty in starting the dryer due to the door not activating the safety switch.
• Visible wear or damage to the latch mechanism.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This is a complete microwave oven door assembly that restores a damaged or non-sealing door so the oven operates safely and retains heat. Use it to replace a cracked, bent, or otherwise compromised door assembly. What it does

• Replaces the full door structure including the frame and glass panel so the microwave can close and seal properly.
• Restores proper door alignment and latch engagement when the door is bent or won't stay closed.
• Prevents heat and steam from escaping through damaged seals or cracked glass.
• Helps restore normal operation when the oven won't run due to a door that fails to close securely.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Handle glass and the assembled door carefully; use gloves and eye protection to avoid cuts.
• Align hinges and engage the latch fully when mounting; test door operation before use.
• If the door is heavy or awkward, have a second person assist to avoid dropping or damaging the part.

Door gasket seals the door assembly to limit air leaks and keep heat and moisture inside the drum. Replacing a worn gasket restores airflow, improves drying performance, and reduces lint and warm air escaping at the door.

• Forms a compression seal around the dryer door opening/window to prevent air leaks
• Helps maintain proper drum temperature and airflow for efficient drying
• Replace if the gasket is torn, flattened, brittle, loose, or missing
• Helps with: warm air or lint escaping at the door, longer dry times, door rattle, visible wear on the gasket

• Disconnect power; for gas models, also shut off the gas supply and allow the dryer to cool
• Remove the door and separate inner/outer door panels as needed; note gasket routing/orientation
• Clean mating surfaces; install the new gasket without stretching and seat it evenly around the perimeter
• Reassemble and verify an even seal around the door; run a short test cycle to check for leaks
