Possible Causes
Bent or worn door hinges, Damaged or compressed door gasket, Warped oven door, Loose door latch receiver
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the oven to cool before adjusting the door or gasket.
Inspect door and gasket:
- Check the door gasket all around for tears, gaps, or hardened sections; replace if damaged.
- Close the door on a sheet of paper at various points; if the paper pulls out easily, the seal is weak there.
Check hinges and alignment:
- Lift the door slightly to see if there is excessive play; worn door hinges may need replacement.
- Remove the door (per manual instructions) and inspect hinge arms and receivers for bending.
- Replace hinges or adjust the latch receiver to ensure a tight seal.
