Amica Door Misalignment or Hinge Wear

Microwave door does not close properly; unit will not start and may show no 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

Bent door hinges, Loose hinge screws, Warped door frame, Damaged door gasket or trim

Safety: Unplug before adjusting hinges.

Visual check: Close the door slowly and observe gaps around the perimeter. The door should sit flush with the cabinet.
Tighten hinges: Access hinge screws (often behind the outer trim) and tighten any loose fasteners.
Check for damage: If the door is visibly bent or warped, it may need replacement as a complete assembly.
Test interlocks: After adjustment, verify that the microwave starts only when the door is fully closed and stops immediately when opened.
