How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave before adjusting hinges or door components.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Visual alignment: Check that the door sits squarely in the opening and that gaps are even on all sides.
  • 2. Tighten hinges: Open the door and tighten any accessible hinge screws on the door and cabinet side.
  • 3. Inspect hinges: Look for bent or cracked hinge arms. Replace if damaged.
  • 4. Check gasket/trim: Ensure any door gasket or trim is not deformed and preventing full closure.

Proper door alignment is critical for safety; if you cannot achieve a good seal, have the door and hinges replaced by a professional.
