How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door.
- Inspect gasket: Check the rubber door seal for tears, gaps, or hardened sections. Replace if damaged.
- Check hinges: Open the door halfway and lift gently to feel for excessive play. Tighten hinge mounting screws on the oven frame.
