This is a door latch, also known as a door strike, for some models of washing machine. This part secures to the door of the washer and secures the door when it is shut, to ensure the inside drum of the washer does not leak. If your washer does not start properly and/or shut all the way, this latch is likely causing the issues you are experiencing and needs to be replaced. This latch is made of a brushed metal material and features two holes to secure it with screws. To replace this latch, simply unthread the screws of the old latch to remove it, and secure the new latch with the existing screws. This latch is not sold with any other parts or accessories, so any securing screws are sold separately.

Washer door always needed to be slammed to shut and finally the latch broke.

Unscrewed the two screws holding the latch and screwed on the new one. Took less than 5 minutes. The best part was that I ordered the latch on Friday and it was delivered on Saturday!
