Safety first: Disconnect power before adjusting the cabinet or drum.

Step-by-step checks:

• Inspect front seal: Open the door and examine the felt seal around the drum opening. Replace if torn or displaced.
• Check for objects: Look for coins, buttons, or fabric caught between the drum and front panel. Remove any obstructions.
• Align front panel: Loosen mounting screws, adjust the panel so the drum gap is even all around, then retighten.
