The Washer Door Strike Assembly is an OEM part for Frigidaire washing machines. It is designed to engage with the door latch to ensure the door stays securely closed during operation. This component is critical for the safety and efficiency of the washer, as it prevents the door from opening mid-cycle, which could result in water leaks and operational interruptions.
You should replace the door strike assembly if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad door strike can include regular wear and tear, physical damage from forcefully closing the door, or misalignment that prevents it from engaging properly with the latch. A malfunctioning door strike can lead to the washer not starting or stopping mid-cycle.
Symptoms of a bad washer door strike assembly include:
- The washer door not latching or locking properly
- The washer not starting or stopping mid-cycle
- Error codes related to door lock issues
- The door feeling loose or not securing tightly
This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
