Oven door will not close fully, leaving a gap and causing heat to escape.

Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door.

• 1. Inspect hinges: Open the door fully and check both hinges for bending, cracks, or excessive play. Compare left and right sides.
• 2. Check hinge receivers: On the oven body, inspect the hinge sockets for damage or looseness. Tighten mounting screws.
• 3. Door removal: Many Fisher & Paykel doors can be removed by opening to the broil stop position and lifting off the hinges. Remove the door and inspect for distortion.
• 4. Gasket inspection: Check the door seal for hard, flattened sections that prevent full closure. Replace if necessary.

If the oven frame itself is distorted, professional assessment is required as this can affect safety and performance.
