Possible Causes

Worn or bent door hinges, Broken hinge springs, Damaged hinge receivers in cabinet, Overloaded door (heavy trays) causing distortion

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Inspect hinges: Open the door and check both hinges for bending, cracks, or excessive play.
  • Check hinge receivers: On built‑in ovens, the hinge arms slot into receivers in the oven frame. Inspect these for wear or damage.
  • Door removal: Many Bauknecht doors can be removed by opening fully, flipping hinge locks, and lifting the door off. Follow the user manual procedure.
  • Replace hinges: If hinges are worn or bent, replace them as a pair with the correct Bauknecht hinge set. Refit the door and check alignment.
