Possible Causes

Fatigued door hinges, bent hinge arms, worn hinge receivers in the oven frame, distorted door seal causing rebound

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

Steps:

  • Open the door fully and locate the hinge locking tabs (if fitted). Flip them up to lock the hinges.
  • Partially close the door and lift it off the hinge slots to remove the door.
  • Inspect the hinges for play, bending, or broken springs. Replace both hinges as a pair if worn.
  • Check the hinge receivers in the oven body for wear or damage; replace if the hinge arms are loose in the slots.
  • Inspect the door seal for swelling or hard spots that might push the door open; replace if necessary.
  • Refit the door, ensuring hinges are fully seated, then release the locking tabs.
