Dryer Power Strike Small Engine Regular Starter Parts

The Door Strike is an OEM part for GE dryers. It ensures the dryer door securely latches when closed, allowing the dryer to operate properly. The door strike works with the door catch or latch mechanism, creating a tight seal to prevent heat and noise from escaping during the drying cycle.

A bad door strike can lead to issues with the door not closing or staying closed, resulting in poor drying performance and potential safety hazards. Causes of a bad door strike can include wear and tear over time, damage due to accidental impact or mishandling, or a faulty latch assembly.

Symptoms of a bad door strike include:

• Difficulty in closing or latching the dryer door
• Door opening during operation
• Visible signs of damage or wear on the door strike or latch assembly

Replace your worn-out or damaged door strike with this genuine OEM GE part to ensure a secure and reliable closure of your dryer door.
