How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps:

  • Inspect the door gasket around the cavity for tears, hard spots, or areas that do not contact the door; replace if damaged.
  • Check for pans, racks, or debris preventing the door from closing fully.
  • Lift the door slightly and check for excessive play; if the door sags, the hinges or hinge receivers may be worn.
  • Remove the door (per Wolf instructions) and inspect hinges for bending or broken springs.

Corrective actions:

  • Replace worn or bent door hinges in pairs.
  • Replace the door gasket if it does not seal evenly.
