Possible Causes

Worn door hinges, bent hinge arms, damaged hinge receivers in cabinet, loose hinge screws

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door.

  • Check hinge play: Open the door halfway and gently lift. Excessive movement indicates worn hinges.
  • Inspect hinge seats: Remove the door (usually by opening fully and lifting off or releasing hinge locks) and inspect the hinge receivers in the oven frame for damage.
  • Replace hinges: Install new AEG-compatible hinges in pairs to ensure even closing. Transfer any mounting plates as needed.
  • Adjust alignment: After refitting, check that the door seals evenly all around. Adjust hinge screws if possible.

Warning: Oven doors are heavy and glass can break if dropped. Support the door with both hands during removal.
