Possible Causes

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

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Inspect for obstructions: Check the door frame and gasket for debris, utensils, or buildup preventing full closure. Clean as needed.
  • Check gasket condition: Look for flattened or torn sections of the gasket. Replace if it does not spring back when pressed.
  • Test hinges: Open the door halfway and see if it holds position. If it falls open or feels loose, the hinges or springs may be worn.
  • Replace hinges: Remove the door per Wolf instructions (usually by opening to a specific angle and lifting off). Replace both hinges as a set to ensure even tension.
