Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power to avoid accidental heating while working on the door.

  • Inspect hinges: Open the door and check both hinges for bending, cracks, or excessive play.
  • Check screws: Tighten hinge mounting screws on both the door and the oven frame.
  • Hinge replacement: If the door drops or does not stay at the correct angle, remove the door (usually by opening to a specific angle and lifting off) and replace both hinges as a set.
  • Check gasket: Ensure the door seal is seated correctly and not bunched up, which can prevent full closure.
