• Helps the appliance recognize a closed condition for starting or continuing a cycle
• Addresses issues where the door/drawer won't stay closed or pops open
• Common symptoms include "door open" messages or cycles that won't start

• Disconnect power before servicing; turn off water supply if working on a washer

• Align the new latch with the strike/catch for smooth engagement
• Close and test the door/drawer several times before running a cycle
