Harman Accentra Insert Rattling door

[Mia44]

Hi everyone! So the door on my Harman is rattling as the auger starts to feed. So we replaced the rope gasket .(it looked pretty old and we’ve never changed it in the 11 years we’ve lived here)It’s still rattling. 😣 Not every single time, but enough to be annoying. (see video) I know it’s the door and not something else because it stops when I push down on the handle. (see video ) (I also checked all the other spots that have made rattling noises in the past such as the grates inside and the side doors held with magnets.)There’s also some dark soot build up on the glass right next to the handle. (pic)The handle also seems to “wiggle “ around a lot. (see video) (Maybe that’s normal and I just never noticed it before?) Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

The new rope gasket will compress over time. Try closing the handle as tight as you can without too much force. I don't have that type of latch as I have a P43
