meillyocean DC97-18057A Dryer Door Holder Catch for Samsung Dryers

If you need to replace a Samsung dryer door holder catch, this DC97-18057A assembly is designed for compatible dryer models. It is a focused replacement part for servicing the door catch rather than replacing the entire appliance. Need a straightforward way to identify the right part? Match your dryer's full model number against the compatibility list before starting the repair.

How to use it

The holder catch is a replacement component for the dryer door area. For a repair, disconnect power before opening the dryer panel, then remove the old latch and disconnect its wiring harness as needed. Position the new assembly, reconnect the harness, and secure the part in place. Follow the service procedure for your specific dryer model, and use the model number on the appliance to check compatibility before installation.

This part is listed for a range of Samsung dryers, including models such as DV42H5600GW/A3, DV45H6300EW/A3, DVG45T6200W/A3, and DVE53BB8900DA3. The list also references other model families, including DV42H5200, DV45K6500, and DVE45M5500 variants. Because model suffixes matter, compare the complete model number—not just the family name—when choosing a replacement.

Pros

A dedicated replacement catch lets you focus the repair on the dryer door assembly. That can be useful when the door catch is the component being serviced and the rest of the appliance is staying in use. The listed replacement references—DC97-18057A, DC97-18057B, DC97-18057C, 4000515, AP5917043, AP6040097, EAP9606214, PS9606214, and PD00030646—make it easier to compare this part with a repair reference or an existing part number.

The package contains one DC97-18057A Dryer Lever Holder Assembly. Use the supported dryer-model information to narrow down fit, then check the exact model designation on your appliance before ordering. For a door-catch repair, this individual assembly provides a more targeted route than considering replacement of the whole dryer.
