Description

What is a catch and a lock on a tumble dryer door?

A catch on the door of a tumble dryer safely locks and maintains the door's closed position. It's a little plastic or metal piece that fits into a corresponding latch or striker on the dryer's body and is found on the door frame. 

The lock clicks into place as the door is closed, keeping it closed throughout the drying process. The catch also stops the dryer's moisture and heat from escaping.

What damages the door catch and lock?

Rough handling or slamming of the door can cause excessive stress on the catch and lock mechanism, leading to misalignment, bending, or breakage. The constant opening and closing of the door can wear down the catch and lock components and cause them to become loose or ineffective. 

Accumulation of debris, lint, or foreign objects in the door latch area can also interfere with the proper operation of the catch and lock.

Would this fit in my tumble dryer door?

This door catch with lock is a genuine Indesit tumble dryer replacement part. It also fits Ariston, Creda, Crusader, Electra, Export, Hotpoint, Jackson, Parnall, Proline, and Swan tumble dryers. Use our compatibility checker to see if this part fits your model.

Maintenance matters

This replacement part appears better than the one supplied by the manufacturer about 12 years ago. Because the door now closes properly washing takes about half the time to dry. Well worth the £20 spent hopefully About a month ago I purchased a lid seal for a Bosch economic chest freezer 18 years old . There was difficulty tracing it but Ransoms helped and supplied it for at least £25 less than than Bosch The seal now vacuums and hopefully defrosting will be a lot less frequent

Does the job needed, fitted in minutes

This door catch for Hotpoint tumble dryers appears to be an update from the originally fitted part, and it does a great job of keeping the door shut. The price was considerably less than other outlets. No need to dismantle the dryer, two screws easily accessed from the outside and you’re done.

Hi Anne, I'm afraid we don't have any fitting information for this. I'd recommend contacting an engineer to see if they can help.
