8588086811151 Genuine Porthole Glass Door Catch for Electrolux Front Load Washing Machines, Washer Door Hook Replacement

A door that won't stay shut stops a front loader before it starts. 8588086811151 is a genuine Electrolux catch for a glass porthole door, the round door used on front load washing machines. The catch is the hook or tongue on the door that engages the lock in the cabinet. Electrolux has used several door designs, so confirm this number on the parts list for your model.

Washing machine door won't latch? Check the catch

When you close the door, the catch pushes into the door lock on the cabinet front and holds the door shut. The machine won't fill or start until the lock senses the door is closed and locked. A catch that is bent, worn or snapped off means the door swings open, won't click shut, or closes but the machine still shows a door error and refuses to run. Sometimes the catch is fine and the problem is the lock itself, so look at the catch closely for wear, cracks or a loose fixing before ordering.

Replacing the door catch

Unplug the machine before working on the door. On many front loaders the door has to come off and be split into its inner and outer halves to reach the catch, so lay it on a towel and keep track of the screws. Fit the new catch the same way round as the old one, with any spring or pin in place, then reassemble and check it clicks into the lock cleanly.
