Great info! One recommendation: change tile to reflect that its only the dryer.

I had the same problem at the end. I’ve tried adjusting but there’s no play at all. My door stays close but it’s not sealing

@@DIYAroundTheHome Thanks for the video. I checked my LG dryer before reversing the door, the latch and the catch were perfectly centered. Now that I've swapped the door swing the latch is hitting at the top like yours did. This must be a common problem, dumb that it's not covered in the manual. There must be some other adjustment... going to try messing with the hinge side...

@@DIYAroundTheHome I must have slight OCD because stuff like this will drive me nuts LOL! I just messed around with it and it's now fixed. Looks like we both have the same/similar door hinge design, so you can give it a shot if you want. I loosened (do not remove) all 7 screws on the hinge where it attaches to the door. I applied a light downward force and could feel the door "drop" ever so slightly. Retighten screws. It now lines up properly without striking the top of the catch.

@@DIYAroundTheHome Just going by the one you posted 3 days ago, your production value has definitely improved compared to this one. You have a naturally quiet voice, I guess, and you could probably work on that, but you compensate for that a little better with clearer recording. Have you ever thought of vocal coaching? It can make a huge difference too. I'm not affiliated with him or anything, but Roger love is a voice coach who has taught people like Michael Jackson, and many other big name artists, but also teaches public speaking too for people who use their voice professionally, which is kind of like what you do when you narrate videos. Just google "Roger Love Vocal coach" and he should pop up. But big improvement on the production for sure. good job! Keep it up!

@SETH other thanks for the feedback, it's not hard to improve when you have nowhere to go but up lol. While I haven't necessarily thought of voice coaching, I've definitely thought of reading up and learning more about voice techniques from the standpoint of speed, pace annunciation of keywords and so on. My recording is so monotonous sounding that I even fall asleep sometimes listening to it. I think I've made improvements but definitely have some room to get better. I'll check out the coach you referenced and continue learning. Thanks again for the feedback
