Possible Causes

Worn or compressed Cookshack door gasket, Door hinges out of alignment, Door latch not pulling door tight, Warped door from heat

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use gloves when checking the door during a hot cook. Avoid placing your face near escaping steam or smoke.

Steps:

  • 1. Visual inspection: Look for visible gaps between the door and cabinet when closed.
  • 2. Paper test: Close the door on a strip of paper at several points. If the paper pulls out easily, the seal is weak in that area.
  • 3. Adjust latch and hinges: Tighten hinge screws and adjust the latch to pull the door tighter if possible.
  • 4. Replace gasket: If the gasket is flattened, cracked, or missing sections, replace it with a Cookshack OEM door gasket.
  • 5. Check for door warping: If the door is visibly warped, contact Cookshack for replacement options.
