“Dryer door is too hard to open and close - anyone else have a problem with this dryer? I have to slam the door hard to close; then I have to use one hand to hold the dryer from sliding around and the other to pull on the dryer door to open. In both cases, I first tried to open and close with less force and this did not work.”

Yes we just bought this and you have to literally slam the heck out of door to close. It’s awful!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have the same dryer and it is the hardest dryer door I have ever opened. We noticed it at the showroom and hoped it would be different at home but it’s not. We’ve had it a few months and it’s almost like something is wrong with it but we have been told a million times it’s normal…
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.My dryer door opens to the right. You literally have to be a body builder in order to open and close the door. I'm afraid Im going to break the door by slamming it too hard. Also the door will not stay open while loading and unloading. I believe that's an issue with the installers who did not level it properly. I'm not happy about this. I just got the washer & dryer on 12/21/22.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't have problem with the door.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I just bought a GE Profile washer and dryer, and I have to pull so hard on the door to open it, and practically slam it shut. The washer doesn’t fill enough to wash the clothes. They are total garbage. Do yourself a favor and keep looking.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is a metal pin that goes into the door where the machine meets the door'' Pinch it a little with some strong plyers or vice grips'' but not to much'' Just a little try the door than if it still is tight? pinch a little more'' This worked for me''
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Have had the same problem with my GE dryer. Installation person said it will loosen up in time...has not, bought in 2021. I am now awaiting service on this broken dryer. When I went to use it got a clicking sound and a message...OPEN DOOR. I believe I'm going to pay a pretty hefty fee to fix this dryer and may be due to this hard to open and close door and the fact that I have to slam it for it to close. Won't even get into the crappy matching washer from GE...without an agitator it easily goes off balance...no more GE for me!!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have same problem seems no one got an answer. Mine is a kenmore. Moves the dryer every time I open and close.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We tried it at the store and had the same problem. We thought it would loosen up a little after a few uses. I have to pull it so hard that I've actually put dents in my wall. HORRIBLE
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello spoonflower - this is Nancy at GE. We are very sorry to hear that your dryer door is difficult to open or close. This is not what we would have expected to hear, and we apologize for your inconvenience. If the hinges on the dryer door were reversed, we recommend checking to make certain the door opening was reversed properly. If this does not help, we recommend contacting GE Factory Service at 1-800-432-2737 for assistance. I hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!
