Washer door striker is broken or deformed, preventing the door latch from detecting a closed door — control board refuses to begin the wash cycle.
Cracked or worn striker tab fails to engage the latch hook, causing the door to pop open during agitation or spin.
A jammed or misaligned striker can lock the door mechanism in the closed position, trapping laundry inside.
A damaged striker intermittently loses contact with the door latch sensor, triggering door-lock error codes and stopping the wash cycle unexpectedly.





💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Door Striker the Problem?
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Washer won't start even though the door appears closed
⚠️ Door doesn't stay latched or pops open during the spin cycle
⚠️ Visible crack, broken prong, or deformation on the plastic striker tab
⚠️ Control panel shows a door-lock error code with no other obvious fault
Before ordering, visually inspect the striker on the door's inner edge. If the locking tang is chipped or the base is cracked, that's your problem. Also check for door sag — a misaligned door causes the striker to miss the latch plate, accelerating wear. If the new striker still doesn't engage, inspect the door latch assembly (131763256) and door hinge bushings (134550800) as secondary suspects.
