Washer door or lid is difficult to open or close; latch feels stiff.

Safety first: Unplug the washer before adjusting hinges or latch components.

• Clean latch area: Remove detergent residue and lint from the latch and strike using a damp cloth.
• Check hinges: Tighten loose hinge screws and adjust the door so it aligns with the cabinet opening.
• Inspect strike and latch: Replace cracked or bent parts with Midea-compatible components.
• Lubrication: If allowed by the manufacturer, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to moving parts (avoid petroleum products on plastics).
