Dryer door pops open during the cycle, stopping the program.

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before adjusting hinges or replacing the latch.

• Inspect door catch: Check the plastic or metal catch on the door and the strike on the cabinet. Replace worn door catch/strike components.
• Adjust hinges: Tighten hinge screws and adjust the door so it closes squarely and firmly.
• Check gasket: Inspect the door gasket or seal for deformation. Replace if it is swollen or misfitted and pushing the door outward.
• Test closure: Close the door and tug gently. It should remain firmly latched throughout operation.
