How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Steps:
- 1. Visual check: Close the door slowly and observe gaps around the seal. The door should sit evenly against the cabinet.
- 2. Tighten hinges: With the unit unplugged, tighten any accessible hinge screws on the door and cabinet.
- 3. Check for damage: Look for cracks in the plastic around the hinges or latch area. If present, the door assembly may need replacement.
- 4. Test operation: After adjustment, start a short cook cycle and gently press on different parts of the door. If the unit stops or starts intermittently, the alignment is still off and the hinges or door should be replaced.
