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

Safety first: Turn off and unplug the dryer. Do not force the door open with excessive strength to avoid breaking the glass or hinges.

Step-by-step checks:

• Allow cooling: Wait 10–15 minutes to allow any thermal expansion to subside.
• Gentle pressure: Press inward on the door while lifting the handle to relieve pressure on the latch.
• Inspect latch and seal: Once open, check the latch for damage and the door seal for swelling or sticking. Clean the seal with mild detergent and dry thoroughly.
• Adjust hinges: Tighten hinge screws and adjust if the door is sagging.

When to call a technician: If the latch mechanism inside the front panel is broken, the front of the dryer may need to be removed for replacement.
