How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door.
- Inspect gasket: Check the rubber door seal around the cavity for tears, gaps, or hardened sections. Replace if damaged.
- Check hinges: Open the door halfway and gently lift. Excessive play indicates worn hinges. Inspect hinge arms for bending.
- Replace hinges: Remove the door (usually by opening to a specific angle and lifting off the hinges) and replace both hinges with matching Clatronic parts.
- Adjust alignment: After reinstallation, check that the door closes evenly against the seal. Adjust hinge mounting screws if possible.
