How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door.
- Check for obstructions: Inspect the door gasket and frame for debris or warped areas preventing full closure.
- Inspect hinges: Open the door fully and check hinges for bending or looseness. Tighten hinge screws.
- Remove and reseat door: Many LG doors can be removed by opening to the broil stop position and lifting off the hinges. Reseat the door carefully to ensure proper engagement.
