catch mounted on door broke
The door had always opened with the wrong swing and it wasn't til I needed to repair this that I noticed you could change the swing. I changed the swing of the door and then noticed that the clip was included on both sides so i did not need to repair the catch. I still have the part so when it breaks again, I can just pop it in.

Hello and thank you for writing. It certainly sounds like it could be a faulty door catch PS2162263 and door switch PS1964648 you should check the part(s) for signs of damage or test with a multimeter, and replace the part(s) as needed. Also, you should make sure your timer itself PS11757529 is not loose with its connections. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.
