The door strike for your dryer is mounted on the dryer door. It fits into the door latch and keeps the door closed. If the door strike is damaged or missing, the door will not lock properly and not only will this cause the door to swing open, but it won’t allow the dryer to start properly. It is a small piece of metal, about 1 inch in length and is sold individually.

My panel lights up but machine wont start. It is missing one of the prongs in the door but it closes fine
For model number GTDS560Ef1 WS1
Hello John, thank you for your inquiry. It is recommended that the door strike, PartSelect number PS266893, be replaced, as the missing prong may be causing this issue and is not allowing the interlock switch to register that the door is closed. You may also want to check the door interlock switch as well, to be sure there are no underlying issues with the switch itself. We hope this helps.
