Possible Causes

Worn door catch, Misaligned door hinges, Broken door hook, Loose hinge screws

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Inspect latch and hook: Check the door hook and cabinet catch for wear or damage. Replace worn parts.
  • Adjust hinges: Tighten hinge screws and adjust the door so it closes squarely against the cabinet.
  • Check gasket compression: Ensure the door seal is not preventing full closure. Replace if deformed.

A secure door is essential for safe operation; replace any damaged components with original Hansa parts.
