Dryer door pops open during the cycle, stopping the program.

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.
