Customer Questions and Answers for Door Strike (Metal) by Speedqueen

Sturdy metal door strike that mates with the latch/lock on your machine's cabinet. It keeps the door closed and engages the door switch so cycles can start and run without nuisance stops.

• Interfaces with the door latch/lock mechanism to secure closure
• Engages the door switch/interlock so the appliance can start and continue running
• Restores proper door alignment and latch feel after wear or bending
• Typical symptoms: door won't latch or pops open; unit won't start/run; intermittent stopping mid-cycle; visible damage to the strike

• Unplug the appliance (and shut off gas to gas dryers) before servicing
• Remove the existing strike and retain mounting hardware; note orientation
• Install the new strike in the same position; tighten screws and verify alignment
• Close the door to confirm smooth latching and proper operation
