The Door Strike is an OEM part for GE dryers. This component is crucial for ensuring that the dryer door latches properly when closed. It interacts with the door catch mechanism to secure the door during operation, preventing it from opening unexpectedly, which ensures the dryer operates safely and efficiently.

Symptoms of a failing Door Strike include:

• The dryer door not staying closed during a cycle
• Difficulty in closing the dryer door or getting it to latch properly
• The dryer not starting because the door switch is not engaged
• Visible damage or wear on the door strike

Causes of a bad door strike can include wear and tear from regular use, physical damage from slamming the door or mishandling, and misalignment caused by repeated opening and closing.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Note: If the door catch is also needed, use part number WE1M1011.

• Supports the door and provides the pivot point for opening/closing
• Maintains door alignment to help ensure a proper seal
• Restores smooth, consistent door motion
• Common symptoms: door sags, squeaks, scrapes, or won't latch/stay closed

• 1 hinge

• Disconnect power before servicing; for gas units, also shut off gas supply
• Support the door while removing/installing fasteners to prevent stress on the panel
• Reuse original mounting screws/hardware unless damaged
• After installation, adjust if needed
