How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the oven to cool before working on the door.
- 1. Inspect door alignment: Check if the door is sagging on one side or not flush with the cabinet.
- 2. Check hinges: Open the door fully and inspect the hinge arms for bending or excessive play. If the door drops or feels loose, the hinges are likely worn.
- 3. Examine hinge receivers: Look inside the oven frame where the hinges locate. If the receivers are cracked or enlarged, they must be replaced.
- 4. Replace hinges and/or receivers: Remove the door (usually by opening slightly and lifting off the hinges) and fit new Rangemaster hinges and receivers as a set for best results.
- 5. Check door seal: Replace the gasket if it is hardened or deformed.
