Possible Causes
Worn or bent door hinges, Deformed door frame, Loose hinge receiver brackets, Obstructed door gasket
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before adjusting the door.
- Inspect hinges: Open the door and check both hinges for bending, cracks, or looseness. Tighten mounting screws at the door and frame.
- Check hinge receivers: On some RCA models, the hinge receivers inside the frame can loosen or deform. Remove the door (per manual instructions) and inspect/replace the door hinge receivers if worn.
- Inspect gasket: Ensure the door gasket is seated properly and not bunched up or torn, which can prevent full closure.
- Replace hinges: If the door sags or will not stay closed, replace both oven door hinges as a set for even operation.
