Oven is leaking heat from around the door; surrounding cabinets feel very hot.

Safety First: Turn off the oven and allow it to cool before inspection.

• Inspect gasket: Check the oven door gasket for flat spots, tears, or gaps. Replace if it does not make uniform contact.
• Check hinges and alignment: Adjust or replace door hinges if the door does not close evenly.
• Ventilation: Ensure that the oven's front and rear vents are not blocked by cabinetry or objects.
• Insulation: If cabinets are excessively hot even with a good gasket and vents, internal oven insulation may be compromised and should be inspected and replaced by a technician.
