Susan, You're on track, A loose or out of alignment striker could be the issue. Also check the door hinges and hinge screws for loose and proper alignment to the front cabinet opening. If all's OK, you'll need to check and make sure the wiring to the switch assembly and the CCU, are proper and tight fitting. Good Luck and Thanks
