How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Ensure the oven is cool. Door components can be heavy; support the door during removal.

Steps:

  • 1. Inspect hinges: Open the door and check for excessive play or sagging. Look at the hinge arms for bending.
  • 2. Remove door: Most Indesit ovens have hinge locks. Flip the locking tabs, partially close the door, and lift it off the hinges.
  • 3. Check hinge receivers: Inspect the slots in the oven body where the hinges fit. Tighten any loose screws and check for distortion.
  • 4. Replace hinges: If springs are weak or arms bent, replace both hinges as a pair with genuine Indesit parts.
  • 5. Refit and test: Reinstall the door and verify that it closes firmly and evenly.
