Also known as a door strike, this new, genuine Frigidaire Washer Door Catch 131279001 is used on front-load washers manufactured by Frigidaire/Electrolux Corp. Frigidaire-brand washer and dryer replacement parts may also be used by Tappan, White Westinghouse, Kelvinator, Crosley, Gibson and some GE & Kenmore.
If your front load washing machine door is having trouble catching and staying shut, take a look at the lock mechanism and door strike.
It is recommended that you upgrade the water supply lines to braided stainless steel when servicing your front-load washing machine. This reduces the chances of damaging the rubber hoses and causing water damage from the resultant leaks.
