Good Afternoon Mr. T,

I understand that you are having trouble with your Frigidaire Affinity dryer and the door sagging, making it difficult to close and latch the door. I suggest contacting your local authorized technician for assistance with this. They should be able to realign the door without any complications. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

It could be the door is coming open just enough to trigger the switch to the off position. Even though the door looks closed it could be partially open. Most likely the clips that hold the door shut are not tight enough that when the clothes hit the door it pops open a little bit. These clips are basically springs and over time they loosen up.
