This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Worn or bent door hinges, Damaged door seal, Obstruction on door frame, Deformed door

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

Check for obstructions: Inspect the door frame and seal for food debris or warped foil.
Inspect hinges: Open the door fully and check hinges for play or bending. Replace hinge pairs if worn.
Check seal: Examine the gasket for tears or flattening. Replace if damaged.
Door alignment: After hinge replacement, adjust the door so it closes evenly and compresses the seal.
