Description

This bale strap is a direct-replacement part that helps secure the dryer's latch/bale assembly so the door closes and stays closed during operation. Replacing a worn or broken strap restores reliable door engagement and safer drying cycles. What it does:

• Anchors the dryer door's latch/bale so the door remains properly closed during operation
• Prevents intermittent door opening that can stop cycles or cause heat loss
• Replaces a stretched, torn, or broken strap that no longer holds the latch securely
• Works with the door/latch mechanism to maintain safe operation during drying

What's included:

• One bale strap

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before beginning any repair to avoid electrical shock
• Verify strap routing and attachment points match the original before reinstalling
• Basic hand tools are typically required; avoid forcing plastic clips to prevent breakage
