How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Ensure the oven is cool before adjusting the door.

  • Inspect hinges: Open the door and check both hinges for bending, cracks, or looseness at the mounting points.
  • Tighten screws: Tighten the hinge screws on both the door and the oven frame.
  • Check gasket: Inspect the door seal for bulges or hardened sections that prevent full closure. Replace the gasket if deformed.
  • Hinge replacement: If the door drops or does not stay at the correct angle, replace both door hinges as a set using Sharp-specified parts.
