How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Work with the oven cool. The door is heavy; support it to avoid injury.
- Check hinge action: Slowly open and close the door. If it will not hold at 30–45°, the springs are likely worn.
- Remove door: Follow the Clatronic manual to remove the door, usually by opening fully and releasing hinge locks.
- Replace hinges: Install new hinge assemblies on both sides. Use only the correct Clatronic hinge model for your oven.
- Test operation: Refit the door and check that it now holds at intermediate positions.
