How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before adjusting the latch assembly.

  • 1. Inspect strike and latch: Check the metal or plastic strike on the tub and the latch in the door for wear or damage.
  • 2. Tighten screws: Tighten any loose screws securing the latch or strike.
  • 3. Adjust strike position: Loosen the strike screws slightly and adjust its position so the latch engages firmly when the door is closed.
  • 4. Replace worn parts: If the latch or strike is visibly worn or cracked, replace the door lock / latch assembly.
