Signs & Symptoms
- Dryer door doesn’t latch properly; you can gently pull it open while door should be closed.
- Dryer will not start or shows “door not closed/latched” error though the door looks shut.
- Dryer door pops open mid-cycle or the cycle stops unexpectedly because of door security fault.
- Visible damage to the catch or mis-alignment of door latch components when inspected.
Installation Guide
