White Plastic Drawer Latch for Washing Machines
Engineered as a direct replacement, this latch addresses issues with drawers that do not close securely. It has dimensions of 1.5 inches in length and 2 inches in width and is sold individually.
This latch is compatible with a range of brands, including Frigidaire and Electrolux, and it also fits certain models from Sears-Kenmore. Its design is specifically tailored for Frigidaire pedestals, providing reliable closure for storage or pedestal drawers at the base. This ensures a tight seal to protect against dust and spills.
Regular use can cause these latches to wear down due to the strain of continual opening and closing, compounded by vibrations from adjacent laundry activities.
Indications of a faulty pedestal drawer latch include:
- Incomplete closure or drawers that do not stay shut
- Openings that let in debris or moisture, potentially affecting storage conditions
- Drawers becoming loose or misaligned, which can hinder smooth operation
As an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component, this latch is also compatible with appliances from Gibson, Kelvinator, and certain Kenmore series.
