How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Switch off and unplug the dryer. Do not force the door open with excessive strength as this can damage the cabinet.

  • Wait and cool: Allow 5–10 minutes for the lock to cool and release. Some locks remain engaged briefly after power off.
  • Gentle pressure: Press the door firmly closed and then try opening again while gently pulling on the handle.
  • Access emergency release (if fitted): Some models have a manual release accessible from the front filter area or behind the kick panel. Consult the user manual.
  • Inspect and replace lock: Once open, remove the front panel and examine the door lock. Replace if mechanically damaged or sticking.
