Possible Causes

Bent door hinges, Worn hinge springs, Deformed door gasket, Loose door glass or inner panel

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door.

Steps to fix:

  • Inspect hinges: Open the door and check both hinges for bending, cracks, or excessive play. Compare left and right sides for symmetry.
  • Check hinge seats: On some OBH Nordica models, the hinges slot into receivers in the oven frame. Ensure they are fully seated and not loose.
  • Examine door gasket: Inspect the rubber or fiber gasket around the door for flattening, tears, or missing sections. Replace the gasket if damaged.
  • Adjust or replace hinges: If hinges are bent or springs weak, remove the door (usually by opening to a specific angle and lifting off) and replace both hinges with OBH Nordica-compatible parts.
  • Check door panels: Ensure the inner and outer glass panels are secure and not warped. Tighten any loose screws.
  • Test: Reinstall the door, check for even closure all around, and verify that heat no longer escapes excessively during operation.
