My clothes dryer runs even though it's in the off position

I hope I can explain this properly. Normally, if the dryer is running and you open the door to take out or put something in, you have the push the start button again after closing the door. Not on my dryer. If I interrupt the cycle and close the door, it starts again. If the dryer has finished its cycle and has stopped, it will automatically start again if I close the door, even if the dial in in the off position. Now it's running even if the door barely touches the closing points. So I have to keep the door all the way open which is a pain because the washer/dryer is in a closet in the hall.

Is this a simple fix that won't cost me hundreds, or do I need a new dryer?

:crossed: :crossed: :crossed: it is just the latch on the door..the contact points. Could you slide a piece of heavy cardboard between the door and the contact point just to keep them separage so you can shut the closet door? Nothing metal, it would carry the charge.
Erm turn the power of at the wall? well you could if you have a switched socket!
This just happened to my Mom's dryer. It was some kind of a wire that needed replaced if I remember correctly.... Small repair bill.
In my best accusatory tone:

Has your dryer been talking to your laptop? Hmmmm?
