Nuwave air fryer door or lid (on oven-style models) does not close fully or pops open during cooking.

Safety First: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before adjusting the door or hinges.

Step-by-step checks:

• Inspect hinges: Open and close the door slowly, watching for binding or misalignment. Check hinge screws for looseness.
• Check gasket: Inspect the door gasket or seal for tears, warping, or hardened sections that prevent full closure.
• Latch alignment: Ensure the latch hook on the door lines up with the catch on the chassis. Gently adjust if slightly off.
• Tighten hardware: Tighten any loose hinge or latch screws.
• Replace parts: Replace a damaged door gasket, door assembly, or latch mechanism if they cannot be adjusted.

Note: A door that does not seal properly will cause heat loss and uneven cooking.
