Description

Thimble cam that secures and guides the dryer door latch assembly, helping the door close and stay latched so the appliance can run safely and reliably. Replaces worn or damaged door cam components. What it does:

• Engages the door latch/strike to keep the door closed during cycles.
• Helps maintain proper door alignment so the lid/door seals and latches correctly.
• A worn or broken cam can cause the door to hang, fail to latch, or prevent the dryer from starting.
• Works as the mechanical interface between the door and latch assembly.

What's included: One thimble cam. Install notes:

• Disconnect power (and shut off gas supply on gas models) before servicing.
• Access typically requires removing the dryer door trim or access panel.
• Inspect the latch, strike, and mounting hardware; replace any worn or damaged fasteners when installing the new cam.
