Parts for Frigidaire DET400KD3: 03 - Door Parts

The Door Strike is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It is a small, essential component that ensures the dryer door remains securely closed during operation. The door strike engages with the door catch to keep the door latched, allowing the dryer to operate efficiently and safely. Without a functioning door strike, the dryer may not start, or it could stop mid-cycle.

You should replace this door strike if it becomes damaged or worn out. Over time, the door strike can suffer from wear due to regular use, misalignment, or accidental impact, leading to issues with the dryer door latching properly.

Symptoms of a bad door strike include:

• The dryer door not staying closed
• The dryer not starting or stopping unexpectedly
• Difficulty in latching the dryer door

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Door Catch is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It secures the door closed during cycles. This allows the machine to safely run without the risk of the door opening, which could pause the drying process or pose a safety hazard. Constructed from durable materials, this door catch is designed to endure the frequent opening and closing of the dryer door, offering reliability and longevity.

Causes of a bad door catch include mechanical wear from regular use, accidental damage, or misalignment of the door.

Symptoms of a bad Door Catch include:

• The dryer door won't stay shut during cycles
• Difficulty closing the dryer door securely
• The need to apply extra force to close the door
• The dryer stops running due to the door opening mid-cycle

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

The Dryer Seal is an OEM replacment part for Frigidaire dryers. It is located at the doorway opening where the drum rotates and helps prevent lint, moisture, and heat from escaping. The seal is a crucial component that ensures efficient drying and heat retention within the dryer drum. 

Causes of a bad seal can include wear and tear over time from continuous use or damage due to mishandling. The nylon seal experiences a lot of friction and heat stress with each drying cycle.

Symptoms of a bad seal include: 

• Increased drying time as heat escapes 
• Excess lint and moisture accumulation inside dryer components
• Visibly worn or cracked seal edges
• Cool air leakage noticed around the door when the dryer is running

The Front Felt Glide Assembly is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. This part allows smooth operation of the dryer drum, providing a felt pad that the drum glides on as it rotates. This not only helps to support the drum but also minimizes friction and noise, contributing to the efficient and quiet operation of the dryer. 

Over time, the felt portion of the glide assembly can wear down, leading to increased friction between the drum and the dryer's front panel.  

Symptoms of a bad Front Felt Glide Assembly include:

• Unusual noises during operation, such as squeaking or grinding
• The dryer drum may catch or hesitate during rotation
• Increased wear and tear on clothing due to the drum's rough movement
• The dryer may take longer to dry clothes efficiently due to the drum's impaired rotation

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.
