Frigidaire 131658800 Door Catch Alloy Steel Replacement

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 131658800 is a genuine OEM door catch designed to secure the door on residential washing machines. This component holds the washer door closed during operation, maintaining a proper seal to prevent leaks and interruptions mid-cycle. Constructed from alloy steel, it delivers the mechanical strength needed to withstand repeated open-and-close cycles. Measuring 1.50 inches by 2.52 inches by 3.50 inches, it is a direct drop-in replacement for the original part. Installation is typically handled by an appliance technician or a qualified DIYer comfortable with basic disassembly procedures.

This door catch is intended for residential washing machine applications where the original 131658800 catch has worn, cracked, or failed to hold the door securely. A faulty door catch can prevent a washer from starting or cause the door to open unexpectedly during a wash cycle. Replacing the catch restores proper door engagement and allows the machine to complete cycles without interruption. This part ships as a single unit and serves as a like-for-like OEM replacement.

Installation Notes

Disconnect the washing machine from its power source before beginning any service work. The door catch is typically accessed by removing the door panel or inner door assembly using basic hand tools such as a screwdriver or nut driver. Avoid forcing the new catch into position, as alloy steel components can crack under improper pressure. Appliance service technicians should follow the unit's service manual for disassembly sequence and fastener reinstallation.
