Possible Causes
Worn or bent door hinges, Weak hinge springs, Deformed door frame from impact or heat, Misaligned latch or strike plate
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and ensure the oven is cool before adjusting the door.
- Inspect hinges: Open the door fully and check both hinges for play, bending, or broken springs. Replace hinges in pairs if worn.
- Check door alignment: Close the door and look for uneven gaps around the perimeter. Adjust the door by loosening mounting screws and repositioning slightly if possible.
- Examine latch and strike: Ensure the latch engages fully with the strike. Adjust the strike position or replace the latch if worn.
- Test seal: After adjustments, close the door on a strip of paper at several points around the gasket. You should feel consistent resistance when pulling the paper out.
