Dryer door will not stay closed or pops open during cycle

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

• Inspect strike and catch: Examine the door strike and cabinet latch. If either is cracked, bent, or worn, replace the affected part.
• Tighten screws: Tighten the screws securing the latch and door hinges.
• Adjust door alignment: If the door sags, slightly loosen the hinge screws, lift the door to align it, and retighten.

A secure door is necessary for safe operation; do not tape or bypass the latch as a workaround.
