How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before adjusting the door.

Steps to try:

  • Inspect hinges: Open the door and check both hinges for bending or looseness. Tighten mounting screws.
  • Check hinge receivers: Inspect the slots in the oven frame where the hinges insert. Look for deformation or looseness.
  • Examine gasket: Run your fingers around the door gasket to feel for flat spots, tears, or hardened sections. Replace if damaged.
  • Door removal: On some BlueStar models, you can remove the door by opening to the broil stop position and lifting off the hinges. This allows easier hinge replacement.
