Keith Hargraves for Model Number Kenmore 110.63912100 dryer The dryer door kept popping open, so I ordered a new door latch kit. I matched the proper latch and installed a new striker. Now, the door will stay closed for about 5-10 seconds if cold, less than that if it's hot. It looks like the latch is not fully engaged with the striker. Any suggestions? Keith
Answer Keith, Make sure the machine isn't overloaded(1/3 to 1/2 of the opening full) and no shoes or small heavy articles. Then check the door hinges and door springs for distortion or damage. Check that the door panels aren't loose or twisted and check the front panel in the area of the door hinges for distortion(bowed out) causing the door to mis align or causing excess tension on the hinges causing the door to "pop" open.
