Part W11429587 Door Catch Assembly

Purpose

Secures dryer door during operation

Details

This is a genuine OEM door catch (also known as a door latch or door strike catch) for Whirlpool-family dryers. It keeps the dryer door firmly closed so that the dryer can start and run safely. If the catch is worn, broken, or misaligned, the door may not stay closed, the dryer may not start, or you may hear slamming or rattling during operation. Replacing this part restores secure door closure and safe normal operation.

Included Items

One door catch assembly (female latch catch, including mounting points).
