Possible Causes
Worn or bent door hinges, Damaged hinge receivers, Deformed door gasket, Obstruction between door and frame
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Ensure the oven is cool before adjusting the door.
- Check for obstructions: Remove any trays, foil, or debris that may be caught between the door and frame.
- Inspect gasket: Examine the door seal for bulges, tears, or hardened sections. Replace if damaged.
- Test hinges: Open the door fully and check for excessive side-to-side play or sagging. If the door does not stay at the correct angle, replace both hinges as a set.
- Hinge receivers: Inspect the hinge receivers in the oven frame for cracks or deformation. Replace if worn.
- Re-level range: Ensure the range is level front-to-back so the door closes squarely.
