Falcon Door Alignment / Hinge or Seal Failure

Oven door does not close fully; heat escapes and front of range becomes very hot.

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

Bent or worn door hinges, Loose hinge receivers in cabinet, Compressed or torn door gasket, Warped door frame

Safety first: Allow the oven to cool before working on the door.

Inspect gasket: Check the door seal all around for gaps or damage. Replace if it does not spring back when pressed.
Check hinges: Open the door and lift slightly to feel for excessive play. Replace hinges if loose or bent.
Tighten receivers: On some Falcon models, the hinge receivers in the oven frame can loosen; tighten mounting screws.

A poorly sealing door wastes energy and can overheat control components.
