Just realized those 'universal' dryer door latches are a total waste of money

Bought a pack of three for $24 online to fix a rattling Whirlpool dryer... the plastic was so cheap it snapped the first time the customer closed the door. Had to go back, eat the cost, and order the actual OEM part anyway. Anyone found a decent brand for these, or is it always better to just get the real thing?

My buddy had the same thing happen with his Samsung.

Wait, the exact same thing happened to a Samsung too? That's wild. Mitchell.lee might call it a glitch, but two totally different brands having the same weird problem feels like more than a hiccup. In my experience, when an issue jumps between companies like that, it's usually a sign of something bigger going on. Makes you wonder what's really causing it.

But is it a real problem or just a minor glitch? Phones act up sometimes, but that doesn't mean there's a major flaw. My old phone did weird stuff for a day and then fixed itself. People tend to make a big deal out of small tech hiccups. How bad was the issue actually?
