Possible Causes
Worn door catch, Weak door latch spring, Misaligned or loose hinges, Deformed door gasket causing pressure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before adjusting hinges or latch components.
- Inspect latch and strike: Check for wear or rounding of the latch hook and cabinet strike. Replace worn parts.
- Adjust hinges: Tighten hinge screws and adjust the door so it closes squarely.
- Check gasket: Ensure the door gasket is seated properly and not bunching up, which can push the door open.
- After adjustments, run a test cycle and observe the door. Replace the complete door lock assembly if the problem persists.
