624072 Genuine Dryer Door Hook Latch White for Bosch, Siemens Clothes Dryers WT48Y780AU WT48Y780AU/09 WT48Y780AU/16 00624072

Bosch dryer door won't stay shut, or the dryer won't start because it thinks the door is open? The genuine BSH door hook 624072, often written as 00624072, is the white hook that engages the door catch. It is listed for the Bosch WT48Y780AU across several production runs, including the /04, /05, /07, /09, /13 and /16 versions, and the same number is used on Siemens dryers.

Bosch dryer door not closing or not starting?

On this style of door, a hook on the door clicks into a catch on the front of the cabinet. Closing the door pushes the hook into that catch, which holds the door shut and lets the dryer know it is safe to run. Plastic hooks wear, crack or snap after years of being slammed, especially when the door gets yanked open mid-cycle. A broken hook means the door swings open on its own, the drum won't start even though the door looks closed, or someone has to hold the door to get the dryer going.

Fitting the door hook

Unplug the dryer before working on the door. Look at how the old hook is held, take a photo, then remove it and clear any broken pieces out of the catch on the cabinet. Fit the new hook the same way round, close the door gently to check it latches cleanly, and run a short cycle to confirm the drum starts.
