Dryer door will not latch or pops open during the cycle.

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.
