Worn or Broken Door Catch
The plastic or metal catch that holds the door closed wears over time. If the door clicks shut but springs open, the catch needs replacing. Cost: £60–£100.
Broken Door Hinge
Dropping the door while loading or unloading can crack or bend the hinge. A broken hinge prevents the door from aligning correctly. Replacement: £70–£120.
Damaged Door Strike
The receiver on the machine body that the catch locks into can wear or break. Replacement cost: £60–£90.
Drum Overfilled
Overloading causes the drum contents to press against the door. Only fill to 3/4 capacity.
Can You Use the Dryer With the Door Problem?
No. The door safety switch prevents the machine from running with the door open. Do not attempt to override it. Get a repair quote from a local engineer.
