Possible Causes
Bent door hinges, Worn hinge springs, Deformed door gasket, Obstruction between door and frame
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door.
- Check for obstructions: Inspect the door frame and gasket for debris, pans, or racks preventing full closure.
- Inspect hinges: Open the door and check hinge arms for bending or looseness. Tighten hinge screws at the frame.
- Hinge replacement: If the door sags or will not stay closed, replace both door hinges as a set with GE Profile-compatible parts.
- Replace gasket: If the gasket is torn or flattened, pull it out of the retaining channel and press in a new gasket.
Tip: After hinge replacement, verify the door closes evenly and the latch engages smoothly.
