When a residential clothes dryer door fails to close completely or bounces back open when pushed, the issue is typically caused by a misaligned cabinet hinge, a warped door liner, a broken plastic strike pin hitting the catch at an incorrect angle, or a heavy accumulation of lint and pet hair caked around the rubber door seal gasket. If physical obstructions block the door edge, the latch cannot engage. You can troubleshoot door alignment easily. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when cleaning out trapped lint from the gasket, tightening loose hinge mounting screws, or replacing a broken plastic strike pin allows the door to close flush against the front panel.
