Tappan Dishwasher Handle

The Door Strike is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire dishwashers. It helps to secure the dishwasher door in the closed position during wash cycles. The door strike works with the door latch mechanism to provide a tight seal to help prevent water, debris, and unwanted odors from escaping the washer interior. 

Symptoms of a bad door strike include:

• The dishwasher door not latching and popping open during cycles
• Leaks or water escaping around the door seal  
• The door not feeling secure when closed
• Increased noise levels from a poor door seal

Over time, the door strike can become worn, bent, or damaged from normal use. Ensure your dishwasher door seals tightly with this genuine OEM Frigidaire replacement part.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

This replacement latch secures the door closed so the appliance can operate correctly. Restores a positive close and consistent door recognition to help prevent no-starts and intermittent operation. What it does / common symptoms:

• Engages the strike to hold the door/panel closed
• Ensures the door-closed signal is made so controls can run
• Worn or broken latch may cause the door not to stay shut
• Unit may not start, show a "door" message, or stop if the door is bumped

• 1 latch

• Disconnect power before servicing; turn off water supply if applicable
• Access the latch per model—typically behind the front panel or inner door liner
• Note and transfer any springs/clips from the original latch to the new one
• Verify smooth open/close and proper strike engagement before testing operation
