when the pin is centered.
4. Check gasket pressure. Open the door and close door latch
handle while the door is open. Slowly close the door until the
door latch contacts the roller. Release pressure on the door
slowly; the door should spring back slightly. Measure the
distance between the roller and latch without pressure on
the latch. Gasket pressure is correct when the distance is
0–0.2" (0–5 mm).
