How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door.
- Inspect hinges: Open the door and check for excessive play or sagging. Look for bent hinge arms or broken springs.
- Check gasket: Inspect the door seal around the cavity for gaps, tears, or hardened sections. Replace if damaged.
- Adjust or replace hinges: Many Gram ovens allow hinge replacement by opening the hinge locks and lifting the door off. Replace both hinges as a pair to ensure even tension.
- Tighten screws: Tighten any loose screws on the inner door panel and handle that may affect alignment.
Warning: Door glass can be fragile. Support the door properly when removing it.
