How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool before adjusting the door.

  • Inspect hinges: Open the door and check the hinges for bending or looseness. Tighten hinge screws on the door and frame.
  • Check for obstructions: Look for debris or buildup on the door frame or gasket that could prevent full closure.
  • Test latch engagement: Close the door slowly and ensure the latch engages smoothly. If it does not, the latch may be bent.
