XPARTCO EXP571 Dryer Door Catch
The XPARTCO EXP571 is an aftermarket replacement door catch for electric and gas dryers from Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Frigidaire, Electrolux, GE, Amana, Crosley, White-Westinghouse, and LG. It is the small plastic piece your dryer door latches onto to stay shut during a cycle, which keeps heat and airflow inside the drum so laundry dries efficiently. Normal wear, physical damage, or a door that has shifted out of alignment can crack or wear down the catch until the door no longer latches reliably.
Made of durable plastic, this direct-fit replacement snaps in with no tools required. The same catch design was used across several appliance families, so it carries a long cross-reference list covering Whirlpool, Frigidaire, and GE part numbers; see the Replaces list below. Each order includes 1 door catch.
Quick Answer
Choose the XPARTCO EXP571 Dryer Door Catch when your dryer door won't stay closed, won't latch properly, or pops open during a cycle because the catch is cracked, worn, or damaged. Durable plastic, snap-in install with no tools, 1 catch per order. Fits Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Frigidaire, Electrolux, GE, Amana, Crosley, White-Westinghouse, and LG dryers. Classic symptom: you have to push or hold the door shut, or it swings open mid-cycle and heat escapes.

- Door doesn't latch with a firm, positive click

Note: Because this catch was used across so many brands and model years, a full model-number list can't be shown here.

Installation Notes
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer door won't stay shut — is this the part I need?
Quite possibly. A catch that is cracked, worn, or damaged is a frequent cause of a dryer door that won't latch or swings open mid-cycle. Look over your old catch for cracks or wear; if it appears damaged, replacing it should bring back a firm latch.
Will this fit my dryer? I have a Whirlpool, Frigidaire, or GE.
This catch is cross-referenced to part numbers from all three families, plus several others. Match the number on your old catch or your dryer's parts diagram against the Replaces list above. If you're unsure, contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm fit before you order.
Do I need tools to install it?
No. It's a simple snap-in design — remove the old catch and press the new one into place until it clicks.
How many catches come in this order?
Each order includes 1 door catch.
The door still doesn't close right after replacing the catch. What else could be wrong?
A door that has drifted out of alignment can keep a new catch from seating properly and wear it out fast. Check the door hinges and alignment against the cabinet opening.
