KitchenAid Door Hinge or Latch Misalignment

Oven door will not close fully or has to be slammed to latch

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, distorted door frame, misaligned latch strike, hinge springs weakened

Safety: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door.

Inspect hinges: Open the door and check for sagging or play in the hinges.
Check alignment: Look at the gap around the door; uneven gaps indicate hinge or frame issues.
Adjust or replace: Many KitchenAid doors allow hinge replacement by lifting the door off the hinge arms. Replace both hinges as a set if worn.
