How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Allow the oven to cool fully before working on the door.

  • Inspect hinges: Open the door and check for sagging or excessive play. Tighten hinge mounting screws on the door and cabinet.
  • Check door seal: Examine the rubber gasket around the cavity for splits, burns, or flattened sections. Replace if damaged.
  • Adjust or replace hinges: If the door is misaligned, fit new Belling hinge arms or hinge receivers as required.
  • Check door glass and frame: Ensure the inner glass and metal frame are not warped or loose, which can prevent proper sealing.
