Possible Causes

Broken or weakened hinge springs, Incorrect hinge type fitted, Damaged hinge arms

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Work with the oven cool; the door is heavy and can cause injury.

  • Test hinge action: Open the door slowly. If it drops freely or will not hold at a partially open angle, the hinges are worn.
  • Remove door: Engage hinge locks (if present) and lift the door off according to the Miele manual.
  • Replace hinges: Install new genuine Miele hinges on both sides. Do not mix old and new hinges.
  • Reinstall and test: Refit the door and check that it moves smoothly and stays in position.
