The Door Catch is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers designed to securely hold the dryer door closed during use. This small part ensures that the door latch engages properly, providing a tight seal to prevent heat from escaping and ensuring the dryer operates safely and efficiently. Made from durable materials, the door catch is engineered to withstand the frequent opening and closing of the dryer door.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Door Catch include:

Causes of failure can include normal wear and tear from the constant use of the dryer, damage from an external force, or misalignment from the door being improperly closed or hit. Over time, these factors can lead to the weakening or breaking of the door catch.
