Possible Causes

Worn or broken door catch, Misaligned door hinges, Loose door strike, Damaged door seal pushing door open

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.
