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 at the door and frame.
- Check gasket: Inspect the door gasket for deformation that prevents full closure. Replace if necessary.
- Test closure: Close the door and look for gaps around the perimeter. If the door sags, hinge replacement is recommended.
- Replace hinges: Remove the door (usually by opening to the broil stop position and lifting off). Replace both hinges with LG-approved parts to ensure even tension.
