The Dryer Door Catch is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It keeps the dryer door securely closed during operation.

A bad door catch can occur due to regular use, wear and tear, or accidental damage. If you notice that the dryer door is not staying closed or is popping open during the drying cycle, it may indicate a problem with the door catch.

Symptoms of a bad door catch include:

  • The dryer door not staying closed  
  • Difficulty in properly latching the door shut
  • Loud banging noises or vibrations 

Replace your faulty dryer door catch with this genuine OEM part to restore your dryer door. 

This Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

Kel, it is possible that the catch W11429587 or the strike W11429589 has become worn enough to allow the door to open just enough to not fully engage the door switch WP3406107. Replacing both the catch and strike would be recommended if the door is not staying shut properly.
