Possible Causes

Worn hinge springs, Broken hinge arms, Incorrect hinge installation, Bent hinge receivers in cabinet

Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool and empty before working on the door.

Check hinge behavior: Open the door slowly. If it drops or will not hold, the springs are weak.
Remove door: Remove the door according to the manual and inspect both hinges for cracks or broken springs.
Replace hinges: Install new Bauknecht hinge assemblies on both sides.
Inspect receivers: Check the oven frame hinge receivers for damage and correct if bent.

Warning: A falling door can cause injury; repair promptly.
