Description

The Washer Door Strike is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It serves as a component in the locking mechanism of the washer door, engaging with the door latch to secure the door during operation. This ensures that the machine can safely perform its cycles without risk of opening mid-wash, which could result in water spills and interrupted washing processes.

Symptoms of a failing Washer Door Strike include:

  • The washer door not closing or latching properly
  • Water leaking from the front of the machine
  • The washing machine refusing to start due to the door not being recognized as closed

Causes of damage to the door strike typically involve physical impacts, such as slamming the door too hard, or general wear and tear that degrades the integrity of the strike over time.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This part fixes the following symptoms

  • Lid or door won't close
  • Lid or door will not open
