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

Safety: Unplug the washer before adjusting hinges.

• Inspect hinge: Open the door and check the hinge screws on the cabinet and door side. Tighten any loose screws.
• Check for sagging: Lift the door slightly; if there is excessive play, the hinge may be worn and require replacement.
• Inspect latch and strike: Ensure the door catch lines up with the door lock opening. Adjust the hinge position slightly if necessary.
• Replace worn parts: Fit a new hinge or door catch if they are visibly damaged or worn.
