This door latch is the replacement latching mechanism that secures the appliance door during operation, restoring proper door closure and safe operation. It fits the factory mounting and engages/disengages the door as designed. What it does:

• Secures the door closed so the appliance can run and maintain temperature or cycle safety systems
• Replaces a broken, worn, or loose latch that won't hold the door shut
• Commonly used when the door won't stay closed, won't latch, or the appliance won't start because the door is not detected as closed
• Engages with the door strike to ensure a positive, spring-loaded closure

• One door latch

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before beginning any repair
• Access may require removing the oven/dryer front panel or door trim
• Align the latch with the mounting holes and secure with the original screws; test latch operation before fully reassembling
• If electrical connectors are present, ensure they are fully seated and undamaged
