Possible Causes
Bent or worn door hinges, Deformed door seal, Misaligned latch or strike plate, Warped door frame from heat
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door.
- Visual check: Close the door slowly and observe where it stops. Look for interference from racks, trays, or the seal.
- Inspect hinges: Check for sagging or play in the hinges. Lift the door slightly to feel for excessive looseness.
- Seal inspection: Examine the gasket for hard spots, tears, or areas that do not contact the frame. Replace if damaged.
- Hinge replacement: Remove the door (most Gaggenau doors lift off after opening to a specific angle) and replace hinges if they are bent or worn.
Note: Proper door closure is essential for temperature accuracy and safety. If the frame itself is warped, professional assessment is required.
