Bosch oven leaks heat or steam around the door during cooking

Safety first: Avoid touching escaping steam; it can cause burns.

• Clean seal area: Wipe the door gasket and mating surfaces to remove grease and debris.
• Inspect gasket: Look for flat spots, tears, or hardened sections. Replace the gasket if any damage is found.
• Check door alignment: Adjust or replace hinges if the door does not close evenly.
• Test seal: Close the door on a strip of paper at various points around the frame. You should feel resistance when pulling the paper; if not, the seal is weak in that area.
