Possible Causes
Worn door catch, weak door strike on cabinet, loose or bent hinges, misaligned door
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before adjusting hinges or replacing catches.
Door hardware checks:
- Inspect catch and strike: Examine the plastic catch on the door and the strike plate on the cabinet. Replace any worn or broken parts with genuine Indesit components.
- Tighten hinges: Check hinge screws for looseness and tighten them. If the door sags, adjust or replace the hinges.
- Alignment test: Close the door slowly and ensure it lines up evenly with the cabinet. Adjust as needed so the catch engages fully.
Test: Run a cycle and confirm the door remains securely closed throughout.
