Possible Causes
Worn door catch, Misaligned strike plate on cabinet, Bent door hinges, Loose mounting screws
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power to avoid accidental start while adjusting the door.
- Inspect latch and strike: Check the metal or plastic latch on the door and the strike on the cabinet frame. Look for wear, cracks, or bending.
- Tighten screws: Tighten the mounting screws for the latch, strike, and hinges. Loose screws can cause misalignment.
- Adjust strike position: Slightly loosen the strike screws and adjust its position so the door closes firmly and the latch engages fully, then retighten.
- Replace worn latch: If the latch hook is rounded or broken, replace the door lock/latch assembly with a compatible Iberna part.
A properly aligned door should close smoothly and stay shut throughout the cycle.
