The Door Strike is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This component ensures the dryer door securely latches, enabling the appliance to operate and preventing it from running with the door ajar. It works in conjunction with the door catch to maintain a proper seal during drying cycles.

Symptoms of a bad Door Strike include:

• The dryer door not latching or staying closed
• The dryer not starting due to the door remaining open
• The door popping open during operation
• Visible wear, bending, or damage to the strike

Causes of a failing Door Strike can include regular wear and tear, misalignment from improper use, or damage from slamming the door. Replacing a faulty strike ensures the dryer operates safely and efficiently.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Color: metallic. Measures about 1 inch high by 2 inches deep.
