Possible Causes

Worn or torn door gasket, Door not closing fully, Bent door or hinges, Missing gasket clips

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Surfaces around the door may be hot during operation.

  • Inspect gasket: Check the entire perimeter of the door gasket for tears, gaps, or hardened sections. Replace the oven door gasket if damaged.
  • Check door closure: Close the door on a sheet of paper at several points around the frame. If the paper pulls out easily, the door is not sealing properly; adjust or replace door hinges.
  • Replace clips: Ensure all gasket retaining clips are present and holding the gasket firmly in place.
