KitchenAid Door Hinge or Hinge Receiver Failure

Oven door will not close fully; heat escapes and light may stay on.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Bent door hinges, worn hinge springs, damaged hinge receivers in the oven frame, misaligned door

Safety: Support the door when removing; it is heavy and can cause injury.

Inspect hinges: Open the door to the broil stop position (partially open) and lift to remove. Check hinges for bending or broken springs.
Check receivers: Inspect the hinge receivers in the oven frame for cracks or deformation.
Replace hinges/receivers: Replace both hinges as a set and any damaged receivers using OEM KitchenAid parts.
Reinstall door: Carefully reinstall the door, ensuring hinges fully engage the receivers.
