The dryer stops when the door position changes

A door-related interruption can involve closure or the sensing arrangement. A loose catch and a control fault may produce similar behaviour.

Describe ordinary closure

Say whether the door latches normally, springs open or needs unusual pressure. Include any visible damage and when the programme stops.

Avoid bypassing protection

Do not hold the door switch in or defeat a latch to run the dryer. Model-specific assessment can consider the closure parts and controls before a suitable repair is proposed.

A useful distinction

A latch that engages only under unusual pressure can mask a physical alignment problem. Tell us that behaviour, but do not keep the door pressed in to operate a programme while waiting for assessment.
