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

Inspect hinges: Check that door hinges are firmly attached and not bent. Tighten mounting screws.
Check latch and strike: Examine the latch hook and cabinet strike for wear or damage. Replace worn components.
Adjust door alignment: Loosen hinge screws slightly, adjust the door position so it closes squarely, then retighten.
Inspect door seal: Ensure the door gasket is not distorted or obstructing closure. Replace if torn or deformed.
