Oven leaks heat or steam around the door, causing hot cabinet surfaces and long cook times.

Safety first: Allow the oven to cool before inspecting the door.

• Inspect gasket:
  • Check for tears, gaps, or flattened sections of the gasket.
• Paper test:
  • Close the door on a strip of paper; if it pulls out easily in multiple spots, the seal is weak.
• Replace gasket:
  • Pull out the old gasket from its channel and press in the new Samsung gasket evenly around the door.
• Check hinges:
  • If leakage persists, inspect and replace worn hinges.
