Door is difficult to open or close, or does not stay in position on hood-type machines, no error code.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Worn hinge pins, Broken or weak hood springs, Misaligned door, Build-up of grease on hinge mechanisms

Safety: Support the door or hood to prevent sudden movement while working.

Clean hinges: Remove grease and debris from hinge areas with a degreaser.
Inspect springs: On hood-type Wexiodisk machines, check the counterbalance springs for breakage or loss of tension. Replace in pairs if worn.
Check alignment: Adjust hinge mounting points to ensure the door/hood closes squarely.
Lubricate lightly: Apply a food-safe lubricant to hinge pivot points if recommended by Wexiodisk.
