Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer. Do not force the door open if the lock is engaged; this can break the latch.
- Inspect door alignment: Check that the door closes evenly and the gap around the door is uniform. Tighten or adjust hinges if the door sags.
- Check door strike: Ensure the metal or plastic strike on the door is not bent or broken. Replace if worn.
- Access door lock: Remove the front panel or door seal clamp to reach the door lock assembly. Inspect for cracks, burn marks, or loose connectors.
- Test lock: Disconnect the lock and test its terminals for continuity according to the wiring diagram when in locked/unlocked states. Replace the lock if readings are incorrect.
- Verify wiring: Check the harness from the lock to the PCB for damage. Repair or replace as needed.
