Possible Causes
Worn or bent door hinges, Deformed hinge receivers in cabinet, Obstructed door seal area, Warped door frame
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door.
- Inspect hinges: Open the door fully and check for excessive play or sagging. If the door drops or does not align with the front frame, the hinges are likely worn.
- Check for obstructions: Remove any debris, foil, or trays caught between the door and cavity front.
- Replace hinges: Many Miele doors can be removed by opening to a specific angle and releasing hinge locks. Remove the door, then replace both hinges as a pair using genuine Miele parts.
- Verify alignment: Refit the door and check that it closes evenly and compresses the seal all around.
