GE Door alignment or hinge failure

Oven door will not close fully or has a gap, causing heat loss

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Bent or worn door hinges, Weak hinge springs, Deformed door gasket, Misaligned door latch/strike

Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool before working on the door.

Inspect hinges: Open the door and check the hinges for bending or excessive play. If the door drops or does not stay at the proper angle, replace the GE oven door hinges as a pair.
Check gasket: Inspect the door gasket for tears, flattening, or missing sections. Replace the gasket if it does not seal evenly around the door.
Adjust latch/strike: If the latch does not pull the door tight, adjust or replace the door strike and latch assembly.
