Description

What is a latch on a tumble dryer door?

A lock on the door of a tumble dryer keeps it firmly closed. 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 latch clicks into place when the door is closed, keeping it locked during the drying process. The clasp also stops the dryer's moisture and heat from escaping.

What damages the door catch?

Frequent or forceful closing of the door can lead to wear and tear on the catch. Accidental impacts or mishandling of the door can also cause damage to the catch. Damaged or faulty door catches keep the door not staying securely closed, cause heat loss, inefficient drying, or safety hazards. 

Would this fit in my tumble dryer door?

This door catch is a genuine Bosch tumble dryer replacement part. It also fits Balay, Constructa, Gaggenau, Koenic, Neff, Pitsos, Profilo, Siemens, and Viva tumble dryers. Use our compatibility checker to see if this part fits your model.

Easy to find, Cheap to buy and Easy to install!

The old latch on our dryer broke and I'd thought it might be a tough job to fix. Luckily it was easy to find the spare part on ransom and it was a doddle to install once it arrived! Very happy!!

Great product arrived quickly, fitted well, no instructions

Our door catch broke on our tumble drier. Serial number search and this product came up as compatible. Arrived in a few days and fitted relatively easily. There were no instructions and so a complete novice might struggle even though it was a very simple task. I was convinced this would have been a distaste at this time with lockdown 2 just days in but this really saved me. Great stuff.

Has anyone any advise on fitting this part and retrieving the broken one from inside the machine please? I'm wondering if it's a weak spot on these models! Many thanks, Lucy

Hi Lucy, unfortunately we're unable to offer fitting instructions. I'd recommend contacting an engineer to see if they can help.
