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 bending, cracks, or looseness at the mounting points.
- Tighten screws: Tighten any loose screws securing the hinges to the door and oven frame.
- Check gasket: Inspect the door seal for flat spots, tears, or sections pulling away from the channel. Replace if damaged.
- Hinge replacement: If the door sags or does not align with the frame, replace both hinges as a pair with DeLonghi-specific hinges. Follow the manual for hinge removal and reinstallation.
