Possible Causes

Worn door catch, weak door magnet (on some models), misaligned door hinge, damaged door strike

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before adjusting hinges or replacing parts.

Secure the door:

  • Inspect the door catch and strike for wear or rounding; replace if they do not engage firmly.
  • Check hinge screws and tighten if loose; adjust the door position so it aligns squarely with the cabinet.
  • On models with a magnetic catch, ensure the magnet is present and not cracked; replace if weak.
  • Test by closing the door and pulling gently; it should remain firmly closed.
