I purchased a latch for the dryer and when I got it came I opened it and it snapped open like a mouse trap. Cannot get it back to the original state. I bought another one and am hesitant on touching it. Is there something special that needs to happen to this before I install it back in the dryer? These little parts are becoming expensive
For model number WTG86400UC
Hello Jamie, Thank you for the question. The other part may have been defective. We are not showing any special instructions for installing the part and it should not snap open. We hope this helps!

My door latch is broken. I ordered a new hook and the latch. What holds the latch in place? Is there something other than the cover to hold it?
For model number WTB86201UC/02
Hello Dan, thank you for your question. For the Latch PS8747158, you will need to loosen 2 screws and remove cover plate. Then put the new latch in the slot. Then replace cover. We are pleased to have been able to help.

My dryer won't start, just make a clicking sound when i push start button. All filter are clean.
For model number WTB86201
Hello Joe, thank you for your question. This issue could be caused by a few different things. We would recommend testing the door switch, thermostats and sensors, as well as the motor. If those parts are fine the issue would most likely be with the electronic control board. I hope this helps.
