How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Allow the oven to cool before working on the door.
- Inspect hinges: Open the door and check both hinges for bending, cracks, or excessive play.
- Check hinge receivers: On built-in ovens, the hinge arms slot into receivers in the oven frame. Inspect these for wear or deformation.
- Tighten screws: Tighten any loose screws securing the hinges to the door and the oven body.
- Replace hinges/receivers: If the door still does not close properly, replace both Hotpoint-Ariston door hinges as a pair, and the receivers if worn. Follow the service manual for hinge removal and re-tensioning.
