DESCRIPTION:

The most common cause for a dryer door not closing is a broken door latch. Door latches are made of either plastic or metal, and plastic door latches are prone to snapping over time; even metal door latches are liable to bend after several uses, rendering the latch useless. If either the latch prong or catching mechanism is broken, the door will not close. Another common possibility is that the hinge mechanism is bent due to excess weight. A bent hinge means that the latch assembly will not line up properly to lock the door.
