Washer-dryer door is difficult to open or close; may require force

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

Step-by-step checks:

• 1. Inspect hinge: Check the door hinge screws on both the door and cabinet side. Tighten any loose screws.
• 2. Check alignment: Close the door slowly and observe how the latch meets the lock. If it is too high or low, adjust the hinge position if possible.
• 3. Gasket interference: Ensure the door gasket is seated correctly and not twisted or folded, which can prevent proper closing.
• 4. Level cabinet: Re-level the machine to remove cabinet twist that can misalign the door.
