How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Check gasket: Inspect the door gasket for tears, hard spots, or sections pulled out of the channel. Reseat or replace as needed.
  • Remove obstructions: Clean any debris or baked-on residue from the door frame that may prevent full closure.
