If the door on your Minimax won't stay closed or keeps popping open, this is the part that holds it shut.

Why a Simpson dryer door won't stay shut

The striker on the door locks into the catch on the cabinet when you push the door closed. It's what keeps the door pressed against the front so the drum can turn safely and the warm air stays inside. When the striker wears, bends or the bracket cracks, the door may swing open during a cycle, refuse to latch at all, or need slamming before it holds. Because many dryers won't run unless the door is properly shut, a worn striker can also show up as a dryer that refuses to start.
