Possible Causes

Defective door switch, Misaligned door latch, Broken door catch, Loose wiring to door switch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before working on the door assembly.

  • Check door closure:
    • Ensure the door closes firmly and the latch engages with a clear click.
    • Inspect the plastic door catch for cracks or wear.
  • Test door switch:
    • Locate the door switch behind the front panel near the latch.
    • Press the switch actuator by hand; it should move freely and click.
    • If you have a multimeter, test for continuity when the switch is pressed.
  • Adjust or replace:
    • If the door is sagging, adjust the hinges or tighten hinge screws.
    • Replace a worn door catch or faulty door switch with a Bauknecht-compatible part.
  • Wiring check: Confirm the switch connector is fully seated and wires are not broken or pinched.

Warning: Never bypass the door switch; operating the dryer with the door interlock defeated is unsafe.
