Possible Causes
Worn or broken door catch, Misaligned door hinges, Weak door lock mechanism, Overloaded drum pushing against door
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before adjusting hinges or replacing the latch.
- Check for overloading: Reduce load size so that heavy items are not pressing hard against the door.
- Inspect catch and strike: Examine the door catch and cabinet strike for wear or damage. Replace worn components.
- Adjust hinges: Tighten hinge screws and adjust the door so it closes squarely and engages fully with the lock.
- Test door lock: Ensure the lock holds the door firmly closed during operation. Replace the lock if it releases too easily.
