How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door. Disconnect power if removing the door completely.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Inspect hinges: Open the door and check each hinge arm for play, bending, or broken springs.
  • 2. Check hinge receivers: Inspect the hinge sockets in the oven frame for wear or damage.
  • 3. Remove door: Many Zanussi doors can be removed by opening fully, flipping hinge locks, and lifting off. Follow the user manual.
  • 4. Replace hinges: Fit new genuine Zanussi door hinges in pairs to ensure even closing. Tighten all mounting screws.
  • 5. Check door seal contact: After refitting, ensure the door compresses the seal evenly all around.

Warning: Oven doors are heavy and glass can shatter; support the door securely during removal.
