Possible Causes

Worn or bent door hinges, distorted door frame from heat, loose hinge mounting screws, damaged door seal preventing closure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door. Doors can be heavy; support them properly.

  • Inspect hinges: Open the door and check for excessive play or sagging. Look for bent hinge arms or cracked hinge receivers in the oven frame.
  • Tighten fixings: Tighten any loose screws securing the hinges to the door and the oven body.
  • Check door seal: Examine the gasket around the door opening. If it is swollen, hardened, or coming loose, it may prevent full closure. Replace if necessary.
  • Adjust or replace hinges: Many AGA doors can be removed by opening to a specific angle and lifting off. Replace worn hinges with AGA-approved parts and refit the door, checking alignment.
