Door Latch / Hinge Wear
Dryer door is difficult to open or does not stay closed properly

Possible Causes
Worn door latch, Bent or loose door hinges, Misaligned door strike, Cabinet front panel distortion
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before adjusting hinges or latches.
- Inspect latch and strike: Check the plastic latch on the cabinet and the strike on the door for wear or cracks. Replace if damaged.
- Check hinges: Tighten hinge screws on the door and cabinet. If the door sags, hinges may need replacement.
- Adjust alignment: Gently adjust the door position so it closes squarely against the cabinet. Test closure and opening several times.
- Replace worn parts: If the door still does not stay closed, replace the latch and strike with Logik-compatible parts.
