Symptoms of a bad dryer door latch include:

• The dryer door not staying closed
• The dryer not starting or stopping unexpectedly during a cycle
• Difficulty in closing or latching the door
• Loose or misaligned latch components

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