Description

This sliding gear latch replaces the latch gear that secures the appliance door and helps engage the door lock mechanism for normal operation. It restores reliable door latching so cycles can start and run properly. What it does:

• Replaces the sliding gear used by the door latch assembly to engage/disengage the door lock
• Helps restore a door that won't stay closed or won't latch reliably
• Addresses symptoms like a door that won't lock, intermittent latch engagement, or door-related cycle start failures
• Works as a direct-fit internal latch gear when the original is worn or broken

What's included:

• 1 sliding gear latch

Install notes:

• Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before beginning any repair
• Access may require removing the door panel or latch housing—keep fasteners organized for reassembly
• Install the part in the same orientation as the original; verify smooth movement of the latch mechanism before reassembling
