Description

This striker latch secures the dryer door so the machine can run and maintain a proper seal during operation. It replaces a worn or broken striker to restore reliable door closure and normal cycle starts. What it does:

• Provides a catch point for the dryer door so the door stays firmly closed during operation.
• Helps the dryer detect a closed door and start/complete cycles; a damaged striker can prevent the dryer from starting.
• Prevents door rattling or intermittent opening during use.
• Restores proper door alignment and sealing when the original striker is bent, broken, or worn.

What's included:

• One striker latch

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the dryer before starting any repair.
• Remove the dryer front or door trim as needed to access the striker; retain original fasteners.
• Inspect the door strike mounting area and replace any stripped screws or damaged trim.
• After installation, test the door operation and run a short cycle to ensure proper function.
