Electrolux Door Hinge or Latch Misalignment

Oven door will not close fully or pops open slightly during baking.

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, Weak hinge springs, Deformed door gasket, Misaligned door latch strike

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

Inspect hinges: Open the door and check hinges for bending, cracks, or loose mounting screws.
Check gasket: Inspect the door gasket for bulges or hardened sections that prevent full closure.
Adjust or replace hinges: Many Electrolux doors can be removed by opening to the broil stop and lifting off the hinges. Replace worn hinges as a pair.
Verify latch alignment: Ensure the latch hook and strike plate line up; adjust mounting screws if needed.
