How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Inspect hinges: Check that the door hinges are not bent and that screws are tight. Adjust or replace hinges if the door sags.
  • Check latch and strike: Examine the door catch and cabinet strike. Replace worn or broken parts.
  • Door seal: Inspect the gasket for swelling or deformation that may cause excessive pressure. Replace if necessary.
  • Cabinet alignment: Ensure the front panel is properly mounted and not twisted, which can misalign the latch.
