How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before adjusting hinges or locks.

  • Inspect latch and strike: Check the plastic or metal catch on the door and the strike in the cabinet. Replace any cracked or worn parts.
  • Adjust hinge: Tighten hinge screws and adjust the door so it aligns squarely with the opening.
  • Test closure: Close the door firmly and ensure it latches securely without excessive force.
  • Replace door lock if needed: If the lock mechanism does not hold the door closed, replace the door lock assembly.
