Parts for Ge DBVH512EF2WW: 03 - Door Parts

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 door gasket is the flexible rubber seal that mounts around the refrigerator door to maintain an airtight seal, helping preserve internal temperatures and reduce energy loss from leaks. What it does:

• Seals the gap between the refrigerator door and cabinet to keep cold air inside.
• Prevents moisture intrusion, reducing frost, condensation, and excessive compressor run time.
• Restores proper door contact when original gasket is cracked, torn, warped, or no longer seals.
• Common symptoms: visible gaps, light showing around closed door, frost buildup, or higher-than-normal interior temperatures.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work.
• Remove the old gasket and clean the door channel; inspect the mounting surface for damage.
• Press the new gasket into the channel starting at the corners, working around the door for an even fit; warm the gasket slightly (hair dryer on low) if needed to help seat it.
• Avoid sharp tools that can tear the gasket.
