How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door.
- Inspect hinges: Open the door and check both hinges for visible damage or excessive play.
- Check hinge seats: Verify that the hinges are fully seated in the oven frame and that mounting screws are tight.
- Remove door: Many Bauknecht doors can be removed by opening to the broil position and lifting off the hinges. Consult the manual. Remove and inspect hinges and springs.
- Replace hinges: Replace both hinges as a pair to ensure even tension. Reinstall the door and test closure.
