Possible Causes
Worn or bent door hinges, Loose hinge mounting screws, Compressed or torn door seal, Deformed door frame or inner glass
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before adjusting the door.
- Inspect hinges: Open the door fully and check for play in the hinges. Tighten hinge screws on the door and cabinet side.
- Check for sagging: Close the door and view from the side; if the top or bottom gap is uneven, the hinges may be bent and should be replaced as a pair.
- Replace door seal: Pull out the old seal from its retaining holes or channel. Fit a new Caple-compatible gasket, ensuring it is fully seated at all corners.
- Check glass and frame: Inspect inner and outer glass for warping or mis-seating. Refit or replace if the door does not sit flush.
