Hi there! To better assist you with diagnosing the issue with your dryer door, could you answer a few questions for me? Is the door lock visibly damaged in any way? Is the control center working properly?

The door lock doesn’t appear to be damaged, but I’m not sure about the control center. How can I tell if it’s working properly?

To determine if the control center is working properly, you can try unplugging the dryer for a few minutes, then plug it back in and see if the door will open. If it still doesn’t open, the control center may be the issue and will need to be replaced.

I tried unplugging the dryer and plugging it back in, but the door still wouldn’t budge. Does this mean the control center needs to be replaced?

Yes, it is possible that the control center needs to be replaced if unplugging the dryer and plugging it back in did not resolve the issue with the door being stuck closed. It’s best to have a professional diagnose and repair the issue to ensure it is fixed properly.
