How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Inspect latch and strike: Examine the door catch and strike for wear or damage. Replace any worn components.
  • Adjust hinges: Tighten hinge screws and adjust the door so it closes squarely against the cabinet.
  • Check gasket: Inspect the door gasket or seal for deformation that may push the door open. Replace if necessary.
  • Test closure: Close the door firmly and run a test cycle to ensure it remains latched.
