Asko Dryer door won't close/latch
If your dryer door won't close or latch, start by checking the door strike and door catch first—those two parts must line up so the strike can seat cleanly in the catch; a bent or missing strike or a clogged or damaged catch is the most common cause. Next look at the door latch itself for broken tabs or debris that keeps it from engaging, and make sure the lint trap housing is fully clear since a stuck lint screen can physically block the door from closing. If the door still won’t close, inspect the hinge for bends or worn pins that let the door sag out of alignment, and finally check the entire door assembly for cracks or missing components. This covers the typical reasons a dryer door not closing or a dryer door latch problem will occur, and each of these parts is available as a replacement if needed. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to see the exact door strike, catch, latch, hinge, or door assembly that fits your dryer so you can get back to normal operation quickly.
01 - Asko Dryer Door Strike
The dryer door strike should cleanly insert into the door catch to secure the door for dryer operation. If the strike is bent or missing, the door will not be able to latch properly. Inspect the strike for any damage and replace if necessary.

02 - Asko Dryer Door Catch
The dryer door catch is the part that the door strike inserted into to secure the door for dryer operation. If the dryer won't latch properly, inspect the catch for an obstruction and clean out if necessary. If the catch appears damaged, the catch should be replaced with a new one.

03 - Asko Dryer Door Latch
The door latch which secures the dryer door for operation may be damaged or obstructed, preventing the door from latching properly. Clean any obstruction as necessary. If the latch appears damaged, the latch should be replaced with a new one.

04 - Lint trap obstructing door
If the lint screen housing is not cleaned out periodically the slots in the housing can become clogged with lint, keeping it from sliding in all the way. Make sure the slots in the housing are clean so the lint screen can be fully inserted and not prevent the door from closing.

05 - Asko Dryer Door Hinge
If a dryer door hinge is bent or damaged, the door may not be able to latch properly. Inspect the hinges for any damage and replace if necessary.
Less Common
06 - Asko Dryer Door Assembly
If the dryer door assembly is bent, damaged, or missing components such as the door strike, it will not be able to latch properly. Inspect the door assembly for any damaged or missing parts and replace the assembly with a new one if it's not in good condition.
