Oven door does not close properly, heat escapes around edges

Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door. Support the door to prevent dropping.

• Check hinge play: Open the door halfway and lift gently. Excessive movement indicates worn hinges. Replace both hinges as a pair with Fagor-compatible parts.
• Inspect gasket: Examine the door seal for flat spots, tears, or hardened sections. Replace the gasket if it does not spring back or has gaps.
• Adjust hinges: Tighten hinge mounting screws on the door and cabinet. Some models allow minor adjustment by loosening and repositioning the hinge plates.
• Check door frame: Ensure the inner glass and metal frame are not warped. Replace the door assembly if severely deformed.
