Dryer door won't close/latch

The dryer door catch is the part that the door strike inserted into to secure the door for dryer operation. If the dryer won't latch properly, inspect the catch for an obstruction and clean out if necessary. If the catch appears damaged, the catch should be replaced with a new one.

Dryer starts then stops

If the door catch is obstructed or damaged, the door may pop open just enough to open the door switch contacts and shut the dryer off. Inspect the door catch for any obstruction or damage and replace the part if required.
