Possible Causes
Worn or bent door hinges, Deformed door frame, Compressed or damaged door gasket, Loose hinge mounting screws
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
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.
