How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Switch off and unplug the dryer before attempting to force the door.
- Gentle pressure: Try pushing the door in slightly while operating the handle to relieve pressure on the latch.
- Check for trapped clothing: Look around the door seal for fabric caught between the drum and door. Carefully free any trapped items.
- Access latch from top: Remove the top cover and, if possible, manually release the latch from inside using a flat tool, taking care not to damage plastic parts.
- Replace worn parts: Once open, inspect the door catch and strike. Replace any cracked or deformed components and adjust alignment.
