Possible Causes

Worn or bent door hinges, Damaged or compressed door gasket, Loose door latch, Misaligned oven cavity or door

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Allow the oven to cool before adjusting the door.

  • Inspect gasket: Check the entire perimeter of the door seal for tears, gaps, or hardened sections. Replace if damaged.
  • Check hinges: Open the door halfway and lift gently. Excessive play indicates worn hinges.
  • Hinge replacement: Remove the door according to the manual and replace both hinges as a pair if they are bent or weak.
  • Adjust latch: If fitted, adjust the door latch striker so the door pulls tightly against the seal.
