Description

This plate-latch strike secures the appliance door by engaging the latch assembly so the door stays closed during operation. It replaces a worn or damaged strike to restore proper door closure and reliable operation. What it does:

• Provides a sturdy contact point for the door latch to engage and hold the door closed
• Helps prevent the door from popping open during use, which can cause cycle interruption
• Addresses symptoms like a door that won't stay latched, won't close fully, or causes the unit to stop mid-cycle
• Works as the mating strike for the existing latch assembly to ensure proper alignment

What's included:

• One plate-latch strike

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Access the strike by opening the door; remove any trim or screws as needed to reach the strike mounting location
• Install replacement in the same orientation as the original and tighten fasteners securely without over-torquing
• After installation, verify the door latches smoothly and the appliance completes its normal cycle
