Possible Causes
Worn or bent door hinges, Weak hinge springs, Deformed door seal, Misaligned door latch
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the oven to cool before working on the door.
- Inspect hinges: Open the door fully and check the hinge arms for bending or excessive play.
- Check gasket: Examine the door gasket for bulges or hardened sections that prevent full closure.
- Hinge removal: Many Fisher & Paykel doors can be removed by opening to the broil stop position and lifting off the hinges. Refer to the user manual.
- Replace hinges: If hinges are worn or do not hold the door firmly closed, replace both hinges as a set.
- Adjust latch: If equipped with a latch, adjust its position slightly to ensure a snug seal.
