Worn or bent door hinges, Weak hinge springs, Deformed door gasket, Obstruction at door frame

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door.

  • Inspect hinges: Open the door fully and check hinges for bending or looseness. Tighten hinge screws at the frame if loose.
  • Check gasket: Inspect the door gasket for bulges or hardened sections that prevent full closure. Replace if damaged.
  • Remove obstructions: Make sure no racks or pans are preventing the door from closing.
  • Replace hinges: If the door sags or will not stay closed, replace both JennAir-compatible door hinges as a set for even tension.
