Safety first: Unplug the dryer before adjusting or replacing door components.

Inspect latch and strike: Examine the plastic or metal latch on the door and the strike on the cabinet. Replace worn or broken parts.
Adjust strike: Slightly loosen the strike screws and adjust its position so the door closes firmly, then retighten.
Check hinges: Tighten loose hinge screws and replace bent hinges if the door sags.
Inspect gasket: Ensure the door gasket or seal is not folded or damaged. Replace if it prevents proper closure.

Dryer door will not stay closed or pops open during the cycle.
