Description

This replacement strike secures the door latch so the appliance door closes and seals reliably. It restores proper engagement between the latch and strike for secure closing and normal operation. What it does:

• Provides a solid catch point for the door latch to hold the door closed
• Helps maintain proper door alignment and sealing when the door shuts
• Can reduce rattling or failure to stay closed when worn or damaged
• Supports normal operation of cycles that require a fully closed door

What's included:

• One strike

Install notes:

• Install with power to the appliance turned off and any required access panels removed
• Verify latch alignment before tightening screws to prevent binding
• Use only screws specified by the manufacturer; do not overtighten
• If the latch or surrounding hardware is damaged, inspect and replace as needed
