How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door.
Steps to check:
- Visual check: Look at the door from the side. If it sags or does not sit flush with the cabinet, the hinges may be worn.
- Hinge screws: Open the door fully and check the hinge mounting screws on the door and cabinet. Tighten if loose.
- Hinge replacement: Remove the door (usually by opening to the hinge removal position as described in the Tower manual) and replace both hinges with Tower-compatible parts.
- Seal inspection: Replace the door gasket if it is torn or flattened.
