Bent door hinge, Worn or broken door latch hook, Misaligned cabinet strike, Warped door frame from heat

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and cool the unit before adjusting the door.

  • Inspect hinges: Open the door and check the door hinges for bending or looseness. Tighten hinge screws.
  • Check latch hook: Examine the door latch hook for cracks or wear. Replace if it does not engage the cabinet strike securely.
  • Adjust strike: If possible, loosen the cabinet strike plate screws and adjust its position so the latch engages fully when the door is closed.
  • Check for warping: Look along the edge of the door for warping. If the door frame is significantly warped, replace the door assembly.
