Trish January 13, 2019 Hi, I just moved the dryer door to open on the other side. After struggling with the hinges for no reason, I finally got it, however the door won't close all the way because I haven't moved the strike yet. But I can't move it until I move the male piece from the front panel. Any idea how to do that? There's no screw or anything like that, it's just a long oblong piece.
1 Answer Trish, We're going to need the model number of your dryer, so we can check and verify the proper part needed and the proper installation . The part number you supplied W10295405 is held in place with a screw and also includes the door strike, this doesn't match your description of the part you need. Thanks, Read More...
Palo February 25, 2013 for Model Number 11068082700 How would I replace the female end of the door strike WPW10111905 on the dryer door. Do I have to take the door apart, or does it snap out and new one snap in? Thank you, Palo

Palo February 25, 2013 for Model Number 11068082700 How would I replace the door striker female piece part number w10111905 on the dryer door?
1 Answer Hello Palo. You will need to remove the screw securing the latch to the door. Then lift up on the botton of the plate and slide off the door panel. Insert leg into the slot on the door panel of the new latch and reinstall the screw into the unit. Read More...
Arnold E. February 04, 2013 for Model Number WED6600VW0 My dryer door opens from the left. The female door catch came loose and I can't get the door to stay closed and the dryer will not operate. I moved the door hinges to the opposite side so it will open to the left. There was a female door catch on the opposite side so I moved the male door catch so it would engage. This all went well but I dont have any power to the dryer when I press the power button to turn the drum. What am I doing wrong.
1 Answer Hello Arnold. You need to check and make sure the switch is good on the unit if the door is closing properly. If so, check the door switch and see if it is bad on the unit. Read More...
Sue September 03, 2011 for Model Number AP4364920. The strike came off the front of the dryer & the hole is stripped out, so we cannot screw the strike back into the front of the dryer. Is there a part made to fill the hole in the front of the dryer to screw the strike back into place?
1 Answer Sue, Sorry, but no. The proper repair would be to replace the panel assembly. You could go to a local hardware store or home improvement center, take the strike with you for sizing, and purchase a "tinnerman" speed nut, and use it to attach the strike to the front panel from the inside. It should last a while, and keep you going if you do it right. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Steve P. July 20, 2011 for Model Number 110.6703* Oasis Electric Dryer How difficult is to replace this part? Does the door have to be taken apart? There are two of these part # AP436920 on the door, but only one being used. Would I be able to take off the one that is good and not used, and put it on the broken side?
1 Answer Hello Steve. These are not hard to replace. You will remove the screw holding the dryer door latch W10295405 in place and replace the latch. Then the dryer door strike W10295405 unscrews from the dryer door. You can use the other latch, but it is not recommended by the manufacture. Hope this helps. Read More...
