How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Switch off and unplug the dryer before attempting to force the door.

Free the door:

Wait several minutes to ensure the drum has stopped and any internal locks have released.
Gently pull on the door handle while pressing inward on the door to relieve pressure on the latch.
If the door remains stuck, remove the top panel and manually release the latch from inside using a suitable tool, taking care not to damage wiring.
Inspect the latch, strike, and hinge alignment; replace worn or broken parts and adjust hinges if necessary.
Check the door seal for swelling or deformation that could cause sticking; replace if damaged.

Dryer door will not open at the end of the cycle; door appears stuck closed.
