Dryer door will not latch or pops open during a cycle.

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before adjusting hinges or latch hardware.

• Inspect strike and catch: Examine the door strike and the latch on the front panel. Replace any cracked or worn parts.
• Adjust door alignment: Loosen hinge screws slightly and adjust the door so it closes squarely into the opening, then retighten.
• Check for obstructions: Ensure no clothing or gasket material is preventing full closure.
• Test door switch: After repair, confirm the door switch actuates properly when the door is closed.

A secure door is required for safe operation; do not bypass the door switch.
