What This Part Does & Why It Matters

The door strike is the protruding component on the washer door that engages with the door latch mechanism when the door is closed, signalling to the machine that it is securely shut. Without a functional door strike:

• The washer can fail to recognise a closed door

• Cycles will not start or complete

• Safety features designed to keep water contained may not engage

OEM quality matters because precise fit and durability directly affect operational safety, washer performance, and long‑term reliability. Using the correct factory‑specified part helps avoid repeated failures and ensures proper interaction with the door lock system.

Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement

Failure of the door strike often leads to typical washer behaviour problems, including:

• Washer won’t start even when the door is closed

• Door seems closed but machine doesn’t register it as locked

• Error codes or flashing door lock indicators

• The door feels loose, pops open, or doesn’t engage properly

• Premature cycle termination due to door detection faults

Will replacing this part fix my problem?
If your washer consistently fails to detect the door as closed or locks incorrectly, installing a new W11316914 door strike typically resolves these issues when the strike itself is worn, broken, or misaligned.
