Dryer door is hard to open or sticks closed after cycle

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before adjusting the door or gasket.

• Inspect gasket: Check the door seal for warping, melting, or sticky residue. Clean with mild detergent and water, then dry.
• Check alignment: Ensure the door is not rubbing excessively on the front panel. Adjust hinges if necessary.
• Replace damaged gasket: If the seal is deformed or hardened, replace it with a compatible Midea door gasket.

Proper sealing is important for efficiency but the door should still open smoothly.
