I have never bought a new door catch for a washing machine.
It is a simple case of them being so flimsy even when new and they also get hot and go brown and brittle after a few weeks. A V5 microswitch and a little bit of chopping has never lead to a bounced job yet.
The best example of a branded product having a fault that was known to the manufacturer was a Molinex kettle.
It used to leak about half a teaspoon of water each night. How annoying.
Under the water level indicator there was a little hole molded into the plastic for the leaking water to escape onto the live base connections. It went bang in the middle of the night. I will only buy a kettle if there is one on display so that I can check for this built in fault before I buy it.
I had a Beko freezer and the motor stopped and it thawed out while the traffic light indicator showed green. It lied to me so now Beko is a banned brand name from my home. At least I court it before it set my home on fire thank goodness.
