The door strike is used in washers and is attached to the door to activate the switch when the door is closed. This ensures that the washer door remains locked and closed. If your door does not stay open, or it gets stuck, replacing this part can solve the problem. This part comes in a gray color and is made from metal. This door strike is a genuine replacement part. As a safety precaution remember to unplug your washer from the power source and wear work gloves before installing this part. Refer to the diagram provided by the manufacturer for more installation instructions and guidance.

Broken door latch

First, I went to the PartSelect website and easily found the part at a reasonable price. I ordered it early on a Wednesday afternoon, and gladly spent the extra $25 to ship it overnight. That evening, PartSelect sent me an email stating that the part had shipped that very day, and - mistakenly - I took that literally. FedEx tracking predicted that the part would arrive on Friday, July 5, which made sense because the 4th was a holiday.
But I found out that the part had actually shipped on the 3rd, as the email had informed me. It didn't actually ship until the 4th - up until then, a "shipping label" had been created but it had not shipped. FedEx then revised their arrival date to Monday, 8 July.
That clearly wasn't satisfactory. So I went to my local parts distributor, Dayton Appliance Parts, a fifteen-minute drive from my house, and got the same part for $3 cheaper, plus without the $25 shipping fee that PartSelect had charged me for overnight-shipping-that-isn't-actually-overnight-shipping.
Once I had the part in hand, installation was a breeze. Two screws removed, pulled the striker, replaced the new part and the screws. Less than two minutes.
But no thanks to PartSelect.
