Kenmore Elite Dryer Latch, Catch, Lock Parts

The Door Strike is an OEM part for LG dryers. This part engages with the door catch to keep the dryer door securely closed during operation. The door strike is essential for ensuring the door remains tightly shut, allowing the dryer to function efficiently and safely.

Causes of a bad door strike can include wear and tear from regular use, damage from slamming the door, or misalignment issues that prevent it from engaging properly with the door catch. 

Symptoms of a bad door strike include:

• The dryer door not staying closed
• The dryer not starting due to the door not being securely latched
• Difficulty in latching the door
• Visible damage or wear on the strike

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

The Locker Assembly is an OEM component specifically designed for LG electric dryers. Found behind the dryer door, this assembly houses door-locking mechanics.

• The dryer door not latching securely in the closed position  
• Gaps or air leaks are visible around the door seal when running
