- Door removal: Remove the door according to the user manual (usually by opening to a specific angle and lifting off).
- Inspect hinges and receivers: Check for wear on the hinge arms and the slots in the oven frame.
- Replace hinges: Fit new Montpellier-compatible hinges if springs are weak or arms are worn.
- Avoid overloading: Do not hang heavy items on the door or use it as a shelf.
