Genuine Tumble Dryer Door Latch Hook Fits Bush Logik Electra Lamona 42214623

If your tumble dryer door keeps springing open, or the dryer will not start even though the door looks shut, the plastic latch hook on the door may be cracked, worn or broken. This is the genuine door latch hook, part number 42214623, for selected Bush, Logik, Electra and Lamona tumble dryers. A new hook lets the door latch firmly again so the dryer can detect that the door is closed and run its cycle.

What This Part Does

The latch hook sits on the inside edge of the dryer door. When you close the door it pushes into the door catch in the cabinet, holding the door shut and letting the dryer know it is safe to start. Because it takes a knock every time the door is closed, the hook can crack, wear down or snap off over time, particularly if the door is often pushed shut hard.

Common Fault Symptoms

• The door will not stay closed or springs back open
• The dryer will not start because the door is not detected as shut
• The door pops open part way through a cycle
• The hook on the door is visibly cracked, loose or missing

Repair Difficulty

Easy. The hook is replaced on the door itself, so there is no need to open up the dryer. Note how the old hook is fitted before removing it, then fit the new one in exactly the same position and check the door closes and latches firmly.

Typical Tools Required

• Screwdriver (type depends on your model)

Description

A broken door hook is one of the most common reasons a tumble dryer suddenly refuses to start. The drum, motor and heater can all be working perfectly, but if the door cannot latch the dryer will not run. Replacing this small part is a quick and low-cost way to get the dryer back in use.
