Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand that your Frigidaire dryer door keeps popping open during the cycle. I suggest making sure that the door has been completely closed before starting the cycle. If this is done, and the door is still popping open, there might be something going on with the door latch. I suggest contacting your local authorized technician for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose your appliance and determine why the door keeps opening mid-cycle. Hope this is helpful.

-Best regards-

SOURCE: high efficency dryer won't spin-Frigidaire

Try this. Set the timer. Open the door, press and hold the light switch. Rotate the drum by hand then while still holding the light switch turn on the dryer. If it starts then clos the door while removing your finger quickly. If this problem persists it could be the starter on your motor.

Why does the door pops open when starting

I would check how level the dishwasher is. Might need to adjust the feet.

The door on my Hotpoint Aquarius Dryer CTD00 pops open during cycle is it the door catch that's worn?

If the door latches correctly at the time of wash then it is possible that there is a false trigger to release the door, if so you need to check on the lock.

Dryer door opens in the middle of drying.

Check the door strike and the plunger to see if one of them has broke.

During a drying cycle, the whirlpool duet dryer door pops open, the indicators are flashing and even if I close and restart the cycle, the door pops open every few minutes.

This was a concern on some whirlpool and kenmore dryers. The fix was to replace both of the catches (the part on the dryer front panel ) and the latches (the part on the door) as well as a redesigned door gasket. Im sure if you contact Whirlpool customer assistance they would be able to supply you with a part number for the repair kit....

I have a KitchenAid Dryer - KGHSO2RMT2 Why does the door keep popping open during the drying cycle?

You need to replace the striker and catch. They are inexpensive and easy to replace. They commonly wear out on some models. Here is your part # AP3094183 All parts come with installation instructions.

Miele 1570C washer/dryer. The dryer door continually pops open during the cycle.

There is a door catch on the body. Try spreading it out. put a slotted screw driver in it and open the catch just a bit. If that doesn't work, then you need to get a catch assembly. It's less than $10 and takes 5 minutes to put in. good luck :)

During the drying cycle, the dryer door opens

Chances are the little plastic latch keep is broken. Look at the door and locate a peice that will press into the front area where the clothes go in.
Once you see it, check the keeper and see if it is broken. The door should not just pop open.
