Possible Causes

Worn or bent door hinges, Loose hinge mounting screws, Deformed door frame, Damaged door seal preventing closure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door. Doors can be heavy; support them properly.

Steps to check:

  • Inspect hinges: Open the door fully and check for play or sagging at the hinge arms.
  • Tighten screws: Tighten the screws securing the hinges to the oven frame and door.
  • Hinge removal: Many Montpellier doors can be lifted off once the hinge locks are engaged. Remove the door and inspect hinges for bending or wear.
  • Replace hinges: If the door still does not align, replace both hinges as a pair.
  • Check seal: Ensure the door gasket is seated correctly and not bunched up.
