Possible Causes

Worn door hinges, Bent hinge arms, Loose hinge mounting screws, Deformed door frame from impact or heat

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door.

  • Check hinges: Open the door and lift gently to feel for excessive play. Inspect hinge arms and mounting points for wear or bending.
  • Tighten screws: Tighten hinge mounting screws on both the door and oven frame.
  • Replace hinges: If the door still drops or does not seal, replace both hinges as a pair using Candy-specific hinge parts.
  • Check door frame: Inspect for distortion; minor bends can sometimes be corrected carefully, but severe damage may require door replacement.
