Possible Causes
Bent or worn door hinges, misaligned hinge receivers, deformed door gasket, damaged door latch
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door.
- Inspect hinges: Open the door and check both hinges for bending or looseness. Tighten mounting screws on the door and frame.
- Check hinge receivers: On some LG Studio models, the hinge arms insert into receivers in the oven frame. Ensure they are fully seated.
- Examine gasket: Look for areas where the gasket is compressed flat or torn. Replace if it does not seal evenly.
- Test latch engagement: Close the door and listen for a solid latch. If the latch does not engage, adjust or replace the latch assembly.
Note: A poorly sealing door will cause temperature issues and can damage surrounding cabinets.
