Frigidaire Dryer DG800EXD2 Door won't close

The Door Catch is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It secures the door closed during cycles. This allows the machine to safely run without the risk of the door opening, which could pause the drying process or pose a safety hazard. Constructed from durable materials, this door catch is designed to endure the frequent opening and closing of the dryer door, offering reliability and longevity.

Causes of a bad door catch include mechanical wear from regular use, accidental damage, or misalignment of the door.

Symptoms of a bad Door Catch include:

• The dryer door won't stay shut during cycles
• Difficulty closing the dryer door securely
• The need to apply extra force to close the door
• The dryer stops running due to the door opening mid-cycle

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

The Dryer Door Latch Kit is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire clothes dryers. This kit includes a new door strike and catch.

• Excessive moisture or heat leaking from poorly sealing door
• Difficulty opening or closing the dryer door fully
• Door swinging freely instead of locking in place
• Dryer operating and heating with door unlatched

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, and Kelvinator brand dryers.
