Ilve Door Hinge Wear / Misalignment

Oven door does not close fully or sags, causing heat to escape from the front.

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 door hinges, bent hinge arms, damaged hinge receivers in the oven frame, loose door screws

Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool. The door is heavy; support it when removing.

Door and hinge checks:

Open the door fully and engage any hinge locks (if fitted) or follow Ilve instructions to remove the door by lifting it off the hinges.
Inspect the hinges for play, bending, or broken springs; replace both hinges as a pair if worn.
Check the hinge receivers in the oven frame for damage or looseness; tighten mounting screws.
Reinstall the door and check alignment; adjust if the model allows hinge position adjustment.
