Bosch 00491673 Dryer Door Latch Strike – WTMC / WTVC Series

Dryer Door Latch Strike – Bosch

The dryer door latch strike is the catch mounted on the dryer cabinet opening that the door latch hook engages when the door is pushed closed. When the strike cracks, breaks, or becomes deformed, the door latch cannot seat properly, and the dryer door will not stay closed or the door interlock will not engage to allow the dryer to start. This direct-replacement door latch strike restores correct latch engagement and door closure on compatible Bosch WTMC and WTVC front-load dryer models.
