How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

Steps:

  • Inspect hinges: Open the door and check for sagging or play. Tighten hinge mounting screws on the door and cabinet.
  • Check gasket: Examine the door seal for flat spots, tears, or missing sections. Replace if not sealing evenly.
  • Hinge replacement: If the door still does not close flush, replace both hinges as a pair with Brandt-approved parts.
  • Adjust latch (if present): Some models have an adjustable latch striker that can be repositioned slightly to improve closure.
