Dryer door is hard to open or sticks closed after a cycle.

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before making adjustments.

• Clean gasket: Wipe the door gasket and mating surface with a damp cloth to remove residue.
• Inspect latch: Check the latch and strike for burrs or damage. Lightly sand sharp edges and apply a small amount of silicone-safe lubricant if needed (avoid getting it on sensor bars).
• Adjust strike: Reposition the strike so the door closes and opens smoothly.
• Replace warped gasket: If the gasket is deformed or hardened, replace it with the correct Amana part.
