Possible Causes

Bent door hinges, Worn hinge springs, Deformed door gasket, Loose door screws

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.
