Oven door will not close fully; heat escapes and cooking is uneven.

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

Steps:

• Open the door fully and locate the hinge locking tabs (if fitted). Flip them up to lock the hinges.
• Lift the door up and away from the oven to remove it.
• Inspect the hinges for play, bending, or broken springs; replace both hinges as a pair if worn.
• Check the hinge receivers in the oven body for wear or deformation; replace if damaged.
• Refit the door, ensuring hinges are fully seated, then release the locking tabs.

Warning: Oven doors are heavy and glass can break; support the door with both hands during removal and refitting.
