Thermador Door Hinge or Gasket Misalignment

Oven door does not close fully or has a gap; heat escapes and cooking is uneven.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Worn or bent door hinges, Damaged door gasket, Loose door hinge receiver in cabinet, Warped door frame from heat

Safety first: Turn off power and ensure the oven is cool before adjusting the door.

Inspect gasket: Check the door gasket for tears, flattening, or missing sections. Replace if damaged.
Check hinges: Open the door and inspect the hinges for bending or looseness. Tighten hinge screws at the door and frame.
Hinge replacement: If the door sags or does not align, replace both door hinges as a set.
Receiver adjustment: On some models, the hinge receivers in the oven frame can be adjusted or replaced if worn.
