The door strike is attached to the door of your dryer and holds the door closed. If your dryer door is not closing, this might be due to the door strike needing to be replaced. This is a simple repair that should only take a few minutes to complete. The package contains one strike. Open the dryer door, and use a flat head screw driver to snap the old strike out if it has not fallen out already. Simply push the gasket out of the way, squeeze together the strike and place inside of the opening. Wiggle to ensure it is set in place properly.

I also noted that the new part was of a better design than the original. It should not need further attention.

This is a gasket, but you may also know it as a door seal, for your dryer. This part prevents heat loss during a drying cycle by keeping the area around the door sealed. This gasket is all black, and is made of extremely flexible material. The surface of this part is roughly half an inch wide, and a quarter inch thick. One side of the material is smooth, while the other side has clips to make your installation easier.

Gasket became unattached from the dryer door
pushed the small tabs into the slots of the gasket door with my
fingers - A $10 fix that would have probably would have been in
excess of $100 if we called a service repair person

This door hinge is for dryers. Door hinge supports the dryer door on the front panel and allows the door to pivot open and closed. Wear work gloves to protect your hands when installing this part.
