• Unplug the appliance before service
• Soften the gasket in warm water or with a low-heat hair dryer to ease installation and improve fit
• Remove and reinstall retainer screws or press-in tabs as applicable; work evenly around the door
• Check door alignment and perform a dollar-bill test around the perimeter to confirm a uniform seal

Causes of a bad screw include:

• Repeated expansion and contraction from heat cycles  
• Vibrations loosening the connection point
• Stress or cracks developing at the screw head or threads

These issues can lead to:

• Gaps appearing between panels
• Components like controls detaching from the housing
• Cabinet unable to withstand pressure changes
