Parts That Fix Maytag Dryer MEDC215EW1 Door won’t close
This white OEM dryer door handle is used to open and close the dryer's door. Comprised of plastic and 6-by-2-inches in dimension, the handle is sold individually and attaches to the dryer door. Your dryer door may need replacing if you've accidentally pulled too hard on the door handle in opening. This will be more likely to happen over time as the material weakens through frequent use. If your handle is broken, you may no longer be able to open or close your dryer door, depending on the position your handle broke in. You'll know you need to replace this part if the locking tab has broken off, causing the handle to continually fall out.
This dryer door switch is a simple on/off switch mechanism that prohibits the dryer from operating when the door is open, and operates the drum light. White in color and 6.5 inches long, this OEM switch is comprised of plastic and metal, and features the switch and three wires that comprise the part. Sold individually, this part attaches to the inside of the top end of the front panel. One end attaches to the wiring harness, the other goes through the panel to make contact with the door when the door is closed. Over time, this part can be subject to material fatigue or breakage due to frequent use or rough handling. If it breaks or is defective, you won't be able to start or stop your drying cycle, depending on the position your switch broke in. The easiest way to test this part for functionality is to test it by hand. Push on the black tab that sticks out of the front panel to make contact with your dryer door; if there is no resistance in the tab and it doesn't make a click sound, you may need to replace it.
Door catch bezel fits into the door catch on the front panel and prevents the door strike from scratching the panel.
This door seal does not include the adhesive glue.
Sold individually.
