AGA range oven door does not close properly, heat escapes around edges

Safety first: Allow the oven to cool before adjusting the door.

• Inspect gasket: Check the door seal all around for splits, gaps, or hardened sections. Replace if damaged.
• Hinge check: Lift the door slightly when open; excessive play indicates worn hinges. Replace hinges in pairs.
• Latch alignment: Adjust the door catch/striker so the door pulls in firmly when closed.

When to call a technician: If the door frame appears warped or hinges are riveted, professional replacement is recommended.
