Frigidaire 137006900 Dryer Door Strike Replacement Part

Replacing a dryer door strike calls for a part that matches the appliance, not just one that looks similar. The Frigidaire 137006900 is a genuine replacement door strike, with the manufacturer listing compatibility with the Frigidaire EPWD15, EPWD157SI, and EPWD157ST models. Check your appliance’s manual before ordering, since the part number alone does not confirm fit for every dryer.

It is a single replacement part, and the listed installation skill level is experienced DIYer.

Quick overview

The 137006900 is identified as a Frigidaire door strike for dryers. It may suit a repair where this specific component has been identified as the part to replace. Frigidaire describes it as a genuine part engineered to its specifications, that gives buyers a manufacturer-branded alternative to a generic replacement, but it does not remove the need to match the part to the appliance model.

The manufacturer names EPWD15, EPWD157SI, and EPWD157ST as compatible models. Treat that list as a useful starting point, not a substitute for checking your own model number and user manual. A door that will not stay closed can have more than one possible cause, so confirming that the strike is the component needed helps avoid ordering a mismatched repair part.

Buyer feedback is favorable about fit and ease of installation, but reports on reliability are mixed. Some customers say the part worked as expected, others report that it did not work or did not last. There are also complaints about it failing to keep a drawer closed. Those experiences are not a compatibility guarantee, especially for a drawer or pedestal setup, so match the replacement to the appliance and repair involved.

Tips for day-to-day use

Before installation, compare the model number on your appliance with the manual’s parts information. The manufacturer recommends a cross-head screwdriver, gloves, and safety glasses, and lists the repair skill level as experienced DIYer. If that description does not match your repair experience, getting help with the installation may be a more suitable approach than relying on a part swap alone.

Keep the old part available for comparison while confirming the replacement, but do not use appearance as the only fit check. The listed package dimensions and the appliance configuration details do not establish compatibility, the named model and manual are more relevant to that decision.

Who it’s for

This part is intended for someone repairing a compatible Frigidaire dryer or related appliance setup after identifying the door strike as the component required. It is particularly relevant when the appliance model matches one of the three models named by Frigidaire. For a repair involving a pedestal drawer, take extra care to confirm the exact application: some buyers report that the strike did not keep their drawer closed.

Worth considering if you have confirmed the part number through your manual and are comfortable with a repair rated for an experienced DIYer. It might not be a great match if you are looking for a universal strike or have not established which component is causing the closure problem.

Before you decide

Which models does Frigidaire list as compatible? The manufacturer names EPWD15, EPWD157SI, and EPWD157ST. Check your appliance manual to verify your specific model before purchase.

What tools and skill level are specified? A cross-head screwdriver, gloves, and safety glasses are listed. The recommended skill level is experienced DIYer.

Is installation difficulty consistently reported as low? Some buyers describe installation as easy, while the manufacturer still rates the repair for an experienced DIYer. Individual reports should not replace an honest assessment of your repair skills.

Final verdict

The Frigidaire 137006900 is a clearly identified replacement part with a short manufacturer compatibility list, making it a focused choice when the appliance model and repair call for this exact strike. Its genuine Frigidaire designation may appeal to buyers who prefer a manufacturer part over a generic alternative. The trade-off is that customer reports on operation and durability are mixed, and drawer-related feedback raises a specific fit concern. Choose it when the manual confirms the match and the strike is the diagnosed part, otherwise, verify the application before starting the repair.
