How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before adjusting hinges or latches.
- Inspect latch and strike: Check the door catch and cabinet strike for wear or damage. Replace any broken parts.
- Adjust hinges: Tighten hinge screws and adjust the door so it closes squarely against the cabinet.
- Check door seal: Inspect the door gasket for deformation or swelling that may push the door open. Replace if necessary.
- Test closure: Close the door and ensure it latches firmly with a clear click. Run a test cycle to confirm it stays closed.
