Sample Model Number Tags
Model numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or a combination of letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate. Your appliance's model number tag may look similar to the sample model number tags shown here (model number highlighted in yellow):
This replacement door catch is for your dryer door. If the catch is broken and the door will not stay shut, the dryer may not turn on. Use a putty knife to pop out the existing door catch by the locking tabs, and insert the new one. Make sure to unplug the dryer before beginning this repair.
How Buying OEM Parts Can Save You Time and Money
Why buy the real thing?
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Simply put, this means that the company who made your appliance is also supplying the replacement part for it.

Dryer Door Catch Part was Correct One And Worked Well
The Door Catch for the Whirlpool Dryer was exactly the part needed and it fit well.
The video makes the extraction of the broken old door catch maybe a bit easier than it was but the insertion of the new door catch was every bit as easy as shown in the video.
The video was great because it did demonstrate the necessary steps and the relative ease of performing the repair.
The door catch works great and operates without a hitch to secure the door.

Simple!
Works just the way it was intended.Would have liked that instructions were included as to how to remove the old broken one. Ended up just pushing it back through to rattle inside the door but the replacement one slipped right in the slot and works great!

Plastic part in door catch was broken so door would not lock to allow the dryer to operate
I tried to remove the part with pliers but could not remove it so I removed the screws that hold the front part of the door. I took the front part off, removed the broken plastic and then lifted on side of the catch so that the bottom of the front part came thru the door and then was able to remove the door latch. The installation of the
... Read more new part took about 15 seconds to put in by pushing it into the opening where the broken part was removed. I put the front part of the door back and put the screws back and the dryer works fine.

How do I even begin with this repair? I need to install the new door catch and remove the broken one.
Hello Marwa, you need to remove the door from your unit and disassemble it. However, take note of how you disassemble it for reassembly. To access the dryer door catch WPW10111905 you will need to remove the inner door panel from the door frame. Best of luck with this repair.

The door on my dryer was not staying closed so I replaced both the dryer door catches and it went smoothly but the door is still opening. Whats the most common solution here?
Hello David, thanks for your question. If the door springs WP3387565 are not functioning properly or are not in place, this will cause issues with your door. We recommend that you remove the dryer's toe plate and check to see if the door springs are installed properly. I hope this helps.

Is there any type of way to bypass the door to turn on the dryer
For model number Wed8500bwd
Hi David, thank you for your question. No unfortunately. You should not use your appliance without a working door switch as that door switch makes sure that your appliance does not run if there is something wrong. Good luck with your repair.

I need to order the door catcher. In looking at your video, my husband tried to remove the one on the left (not in use) but it is not as easy as you showed. The bottom part came out very easy, but the top did not want to come out. I need to order this part but want to make sure it will work with my dryer. Thank you.
For model number WGD6200SW
Hello Cathy, thank you for your question. According to the model number you provided, this will be the correct door catch for your appliance. You should have no problems installing it. I hope this helps!

I've replaced both thermal fuses and now a f23 is show on the control panel, wats that mean?
For model number WED7300XW0
Hi Que,
Thank you for the question. F23 error code means that the dryer heating circuit isn't working. This means that your thermistor is out of range and you'll need replace it. The thermistor is located near the thermal fuse you' replaced.
Hope this helps !
