Possible Causes
Worn or bent door hinges, Compressed or torn door gasket, Loose door glass or inner panel, Deformed door frame from impact
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door.
- Inspect gasket: Check the rubber door seal around the cavity for tears, gaps, or hardened sections. Replace the gasket if damaged or flattened.
- Check hinges: Open the door halfway and lift gently. Excessive play indicates worn hinges. Remove the door (usually by opening fully and lifting off hinge arms) and replace both hinges with Amica-compatible parts.
- Door alignment: After hinge replacement, refit the door and check alignment with the cabinet. Adjust mounting screws if necessary.
- Glass and inner panel: Ensure the inner glass and metal panels are securely fixed and not warped. Tighten screws or replace damaged panels.
