8086811141 Genuine Door Catch for AEG, Electrolux, Westinghouse Dryers T8DHC846B T9DHA866C T6DHE842B EDH803BEWA EDH903R9WB WDH804N7WA

Part 8086811141 is the genuine catch for the glass porthole door on a range of AEG, Electrolux and Westinghouse dryers. On the AEG side it's listed for the T6DHE842B and T8DHC846B, the T8DHC846C and T9DHA866C. Electrolux models include the EDC804BEWA and EDH803BEWA, the EDH803R7WB and EDH903R9WB, and Westinghouse lists the WDH804N7WA. Order it when the door won't latch or springs open mid cycle.

Dryer door won't latch

Every time the door closes, this catch engages the latch on the dryer's front and holds the glass porthole firmly against its seal. That pressure keeps warm air circulating through the lint filter instead of escaping around the door edge. Once the catch wears or breaks, the door may not click shut, can drift open when the drum is turning, or leave the dryer refusing to start because it can't detect a closed door. Clothes may also come out damp after a full cycle.

Changing the door catch

Unplug the dryer at the wall. With the door open, look at how the old catch is fixed into the porthole frame and take a photo for reference. Remove it, fit the new catch in the same orientation and make sure it's fully seated. Close the door a few times to confirm it clicks and holds before starting a load.
