Without a functioning door strike, the dryer may not start, or it could stop mid-cycle.

You should replace this door strike if it becomes damaged or worn out. Over time, the door strike can suffer from wear due to regular use, misalignment, or accidental impact, leading to issues with the dryer door latching properly.

Symptoms of a bad door strike include:

• The dryer door not staying closed
• The dryer not starting or stopping unexpectedly
• Difficulty in latching the dryer door
