Dryer door will not stay closed or pops open during cycle

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before adjusting or replacing door components.

• Inspect latch and strike: Check the door catch on the cabinet and the strike on the door for wear or damage. Replace worn parts.
• Adjust strike position: Loosen the screws holding the strike and adjust its position so it engages firmly with the catch.
• Check hinges: Tighten loose hinge screws and ensure the door is properly aligned.
• Test closure: Close the door and tug gently to confirm it stays latched during operation.
