This is a door latch kit, but you may also know it as a door catch kit. It is designed for your dryer. This part helps hold the door shut on your appliance. This dryer door latch kit comes in two pieces: a door latch, and a door strike or clip. Both parts are a beige white color and made entirely of plastic. Together they are 2 inches wide, 1 inch long, and about 1 inch high. To replace the door latch kit, you will need a pair of needle-nose pliers and a number 2 Phillips screwdriver.

Ideal Replacement
The door latch matched the original and was installed by myself. I had to use a needle nose and it was a little difficult to get it just right. For the front of the dryer, the bottom base screws require a torx screwdriver. I used a small flathead and it was very hard to remove the screws. I did succeed and the new door latch works great. Nice to be able to avoid a costly appliance service call being able to find the part and view the video to replace it.

Easy repair and works great
The latch on our dryer broke after nearly 30 years of use. This was an easy replacement, and it shuts like it used to again.

Easy to remove and install
I purchased a simple dryer door latch for my 1983 Maytag dryer. The first part came and it was incomplete. When I contacted the company, they sent out a replacement at no cost to me and it came right away. Great customer service. They also supplied a video to a "sent product" email (for tracking). It showed me everything I needed to know about replacing the part. It was just a little thing, but the customer service was great! I highly recommend doing business with PartSelect.

no power, not turn on
I bought all the recommended parts for this trouble, but it turned out to be caused by burt wire on terminal block causing separation from block as all latches, motor, breakers, elements, switches and thermal sensors tested positive continuity, I finally decided to look in rear panel where incoming power meets terminus to motor, etc. and
... Read more wires were burnt at ends and post on block was separated from base. I got on phone immediately to customer service to order part shown on their very helpful schematic diagram seen on partselect website. The part was unfortunately discontinued but may be available from other sources. She explained how to search based on part # and the words " terminal block" which directed me to a supplier in MI. Repair completed once appropriate part was received. Thanks again for the direction given even though part was not purchased in the end. Will certainly return to partselect in the future if any issues come up in future. Very helpful site for the DIY'er!!
I took the two screws out of the end of the door and the door handle off. Then able to part the interior of the door enough to replace the latch. The video was really great.

Dryer Door would not stay Closed during operation.
Got on line and ordered a door striker and door latch. When my parts arrived, they also came with instructions. Turned out the metal clip on back of stiker had broken and would not help the plastic striker to close over the door latch. I only replaced the plastic striker and saved the door latch. Parts were around 16.00 dollars plus a lit

To remove and install the new parts, I followed the video instruction at whirlpool.com. Then removed the old knobs and put the new ones in. The new one created a rough contact and needed a little lithium grease to make a smooth insertion to prevent the friction from damaging the new part. It was an easy fix and took about ten minutes. Go

Dryer door latch replacement
It was so easy to repair that my wife did it. She used a screw driver to pop out the old, worn plastic part that the door latch goes into and snapped in the new part and it was all done. So nice to be able to fix it yourself!
