Possible Causes
Worn or bent door hinges, Deformed door frame from impact or heat, Loose hinge mounting screws, Damaged door gasket
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door. The door is heavy; support it properly.
- Inspect gasket: Check the door seal all around for tears or flattened sections. Replace the gasket if it does not spring back.
- Check hinge play: Open the door halfway and lift gently. Excessive vertical movement indicates worn hinges; replace both hinges as a set.
- Tighten hinge screws: Remove side trims if needed and tighten the hinge mounting screws on the oven body.
- Check door alignment: Look from the side to see if the door is twisted. If the outer door is bent, replacement of the door assembly may be required.
