How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer.

  • Inspect latch and strike: Check for wear or damage. Replace the latch or strike if they do not hold firmly.
  • Adjust hinges: Tighten hinge screws and adjust door alignment so it closes squarely.
  • Check gasket: Ensure the door seal is seated properly and not buckled.

After repair, run a cycle and confirm the door stays securely closed.
