This Part Fixes These Problems

Door Won't Stay Closed

The door catch is the female latch on the door that locks onto the strike pin on the front panel. When the plastic housing cracks or the internal spring jaws wear out, the door pops open during or right after loading.

Dryer Won't Start

Most Whirlpool-family dryers use a door switch interlock — if the catch cannot fully engage the strike, the door switch stays open and the dryer refuses to start even when the door appears closed.

Door Closes With No Resistance

A healthy catch gives a firm, audible click when the door closes. If the door swings shut silently with almost no force required, the spring mechanism inside the catch has failed and replacement is needed.

Visible Crack or Missing Tab on Catch Body

The plastic housing breaks under repeated impact — especially if the door has ever been slammed hard. A cracked catch body cannot hold the strike pin securely regardless of spring condition.

Product Description

Why Choose Our W10111905 Dryer Door Catch?

🔧
Built to OEM Specifications Engineered to match original WPW10111905 dimensions — spring-loaded metal jaw inside a durable plastic housing for a firm, rattle-free door latch every cycle.
🏭
Reinforced Spring Steel Core The internal metal spring jaws are manufactured from hardened steel — the same mechanism used in the OEM unit — resisting fatigue even after thousands of open/close cycles.
🔄
Wide Cross-Brand Compatibility One part number covers Whirlpool Cabrio, Maytag Bravos, Kenmore Oasis, KitchenAid, Amana, Jenn-Air, Admiral, Magic Chef, Norge, and Roper dryer lines — over 100 confirmed models.
⚡
Tool-Free Snap-In Install Pop out the old catch with a putty knife using the locking tabs, then press the new one straight in. Most repairs take under 10 minutes with zero special tools — no service call needed.
✅
Direct Drop-In Replacement This is the female catch piece mounted on the door. It works with the front-panel strike (order W10295405 separately if the male strike is also damaged) to complete the latching system.
💰
Save vs. OEM Pricing OEM reference price is approximately $8.40 at major retailers. Our aftermarket part delivers the same fit and function at a lower cost — no need to replace the entire door assembly.

💡 Pro Tip: How to Know Your Door Catch Has Failed

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Dryer door will not stay shut — pops open during or after loading

⚠️ Dryer fails to start even when the door appears closed

⚠️ Visible cracks, deformation, or missing tabs on the plastic catch body

⚠️ Door closes but offers almost no resistance — catch feels loose or hollow

🔍 Technician Tip: Before ordering, also inspect the door springs (WP3387565) — if the springs are dislodged the door will continue to pop open even after replacing the catch. Remove the toe plate and verify the springs are properly seated before completing the repair.

Questions & Answers

Is this the female catch or the male strike pin? What if I need both?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
This listing (W10111905 / WPW10111905) is the female catch — the spring-loaded assembly that sits inside the dryer door. The male strike pin that inserts into the catch is a separate part (W10295405) mounted on the front panel of the dryer cabinet. If both are damaged, you will need to order them separately. Inspect both pieces before ordering to confirm which one (or both) require replacement.
My Kenmore dryer model starts with '110.' — will this part fit?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
Yes. Many Kenmore dryers with model numbers beginning with 110.67 and 110.68 series (e.g., 110.67032600, 110.68082700) are built on the same Whirlpool platform and use the identical WPW10111905 door catch. Please verify your full model number against our compatibility list, and contact our support team if your specific model is not listed — we will confirm fitment for you.
I replaced the door catch but my dryer door still pops open during the cycle. What else should I check?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
If the door continues to open after installing a new catch, the most common secondary cause is the door tension springs (part WP3387565). Remove the dryer's toe plate and inspect whether both door springs are present and properly hooked onto their mounting pegs. A missing or dislodged spring allows the door to vibrate open even with a fully functional catch. Also inspect the door strike on the front panel for wear or misalignment.
Do I need to remove the entire dryer door to replace this catch?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
For most models, no — you do not need to remove the door from its hinges. The catch can be accessed with the door open and swapped out using a putty knife to release the locking tabs, then pressing the new catch straight in. On a small number of older model variants where the catch has fallen into the interior of the door, you may need to remove 10 screws (top panel, hinge side, and opposite side) to access the inner door panel. Check if your catch is still accessible from the door opening before disassembling.
How long does this repair typically take, and is it DIY-friendly?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
Under normal circumstances this is one of the fastest dryer repairs possible — most customers report completing it in 5 to 10 minutes. No electrical work is involved, no panels need to be removed from the dryer cabinet, and no special tools are required beyond a putty knife or flathead screwdriver. It is rated as an Easy / Skill Level 1–2 repair, suitable for any homeowner comfortable with basic hand tools.

We typically respond within 1 business day. Include your appliance model number for the fastest answer.
