This door latch is designed for your dryer, and is mounted to the dryer frame. The door latch holds the door of your dryer closed while the machine is operating. If your dryer door is not catching on the door strike, and will not stay closed, you may need to replace the door latch. This part is square in shape, and is approximately 3/4-inch in length, by 3/4-inch in width. The part is made of white plastic with a metal tab. To access the door latch, you will need to remove the top and side panels on your dryer. To complete this repair, simply pop the damaged door latch out of position, and snap the new one into place.

Door latch
You sent the wrong part we wanted the one that goes on the wall of the dryer door not on the door but on the frame itself so it did me no good it’s the metal piece not the part that goes into the actual door itself but on the frame

Good part, slow shipping
The part was exactly as expected and did the job. Shipping was nearly $8, however, and the part took nearly a week to arrive, not the two-day used to justify the shipping cost.

Simple repair. Part fit perfectly
Was glad to find a door latch that fit my 32 year old Hotpoint dryer. No more using a prop to wedge the door shut. Works just fine again.

Quick and easy repair
Part was good quality and easy to replace. I wish I would have looked at the dryer door better before I ordered the part. The door is reversible and there was another on of these on the other side of the door. I could have issued that one!

PERFECT
The original door latch disintigrated. The replacement snapped in from the front and was installed by me in 1 minute. Perfect replacement couldn't have been better. THANKS

Plastic housing for the door latch mounted in the chassis of the dryer was damaged so the section of the latch in the door wouldn't align.
This kept the interlock open and shut off the dryer when the door swung open The broken latch was popped out using a flat blade screwdriver and the replacement snapped into place by hand. Good as new!

Door wouldn't stay shut
When I went home at Christmas, I saw that my Mom had been using a small bench to keep her dryer door shut. I wrote the make / model of the dryer down and found your website. I ordered the part, and my sister snapped it into place. My mom was so happy to have her dryer door stay shut again!

Needed to change the door opening position
I removed the door and "flipped" it to open right to left. Rather than remove the existing door latch I added the purchased latch on the right side to enable opening the door right to left or left to right.

The door on my space maker dryer will close with a hard shove and it takes a hard pull to open it. Just happened a couple of days ago. The problem seems to be in the latching area. Not sure if it is the latch or the striker. Your help and part number for replacement would be helpful. Thank you.
For model number PCKS443EB2WW
Hello Bill,
Thank you for your question. Our sources suggest replacing the door latch under part PS3502777 for your model to fix the door issues. We hope this helps!
