Hitachi Door Hinge / Latch Misalignment

Oven door will not close fully or pops open slightly during operation

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

Worn or bent door hinges, Weak door springs, Deformed door latch, Obstructed door seal

Safety first: Turn off power and let the oven cool before adjusting the door.

Inspect hinges: Open the door and check both hinges for bending or looseness. Tighten mounting screws.
Check seal: Ensure the gasket is seated properly and not folded or torn.
Test closure: Close the door and see if it latches firmly. If it springs back, the hinges or latch may need replacement.
Replace hinges: Remove the door according to the manual and install new Hitachi door hinge assemblies if worn.
