Door is difficult to open or close; scraping or catching felt

Safety first: Unplug the appliance.

• Inspect hinge: Check hinge screws and tighten. If the door sags or scrapes, replace the hinge.
• Check gasket: Ensure the door seal is seated correctly and not twisted or bulging.
• Replace catch/strike: If the latch does not engage smoothly, replace the door catch or strike with Amica-compatible parts.
