How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool and power is off before removing the door.
- Remove door: Open the door to the broil stop position (about 4–6 inches open). Flip the hinge locks (if present) and lift the door off the hinges.
- Inspect hinges: Check the oven door hinges for bending, broken springs, or excessive play. Replace both hinges as a set if worn.
