How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Inspect hinges:
    • Open the door and check hinges for bending or play.
    • On many Frigidaire Professional models, the door can be removed by opening to the broil stop and lifting off the hinges.
  • Check latch alignment:
    • Inspect the latch on the oven frame and the strike on the door.
    • Adjust the strike plate slightly if misaligned.
  • Replace hinges:
    • If the door drops or does not spring closed, replace both oven door hinges as a set.
