Possible Causes
Worn or broken door catch, Misaligned door strike, Loose door hinges, Deformed door gasket interfering with closure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off and unplug the dryer before adjusting hinges or latches.
A secure door is required for safe operation.
- Inspect door catch and strike: Check the plastic or metal latch on the door and the strike on the cabinet. Replace any cracked or worn parts.
- Adjust door hinges: Tighten hinge screws and adjust the door position so it aligns squarely with the opening.
- Check door gasket: Ensure the gasket is seated properly and not folded or warped. Reseat or replace if it prevents proper closure.
- Test closure: Close the door and verify a firm click. Run a cycle and confirm the door stays closed.
