Washing Machine Door Strike

The Door Strike is an essential OEM part designed for Frigidaire washing machines, and it is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models. This component plays a crucial role in the operation of the washing machine by engaging with the door latch to keep the door securely closed and locked during cycles. This function helps prevent water from leaking and maintains the appliance's safety and functionality.

Common indicators of a malfunctioning Door Strike include:
- Difficulty in closing or locking the washing machine door
- The washing machine failing to start because the door does not seem closed
- Observable damage on the strike, such as cracks or warping

The main reasons for a Door Strike to fail often relate to physical damage caused by forcefully shutting the washing machine door, regular wear from consistent use, or deterioration of the material over time.

Replacing a faulty Door Strike can resolve issues such as:
- The inability to open the lid or door
- The washing machine failing to start
- Problems with the lid or door closing properly

This replacement part ensures your washing machine operates smoothly and remains secure throughout its use.
