Hotpoint Tumble Dryer Door Catch Lock

Description

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

The catch on a tumble dryer door securely locks and maintains the door in a closed position. It is a small plastic or metal piece that fits into a corresponding latch or striker on the dryer's body, located on the door frame. The lock engages as the door is closed and prevents the escape of moisture and heat from the dryer.

What damages the door catch and lock?

Damage to the door catch and lock happens with rough handling or slamming of the door. It causes excessive stress on the mechanism and gets misaligned, bent, or broken. The repeated opening and closing of the door can also cause wear and looseness in the catch and lock components, reducing their effectiveness.
