Possible Causes
Weak hinge springs, worn hinge mechanism, damaged hinge receivers
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Work on the door only when the oven is cool. The door is heavy; support it properly.
- Test hinge tension: Open the door to various positions. If it will not hold and moves freely, the hinges are worn.
- Remove door: Remove the door according to Café instructions (usually open to a specific angle and lift off).
- Inspect hinges and receivers: Check for cracks or deformation.
- Replace hinges: Replace both oven door hinges and, if damaged, the hinge receivers.
