How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the oven to cool before working on the door.

  • Inspect hinges: Open the door and check for sagging or play in the hinges. If the door drops or does not align with the cabinet, hinges may need replacement.
  • Check seal: Inspect the door gasket for flat spots, tears, or missing sections. Replace if damaged.
  • Adjust or replace hinges: Remove the door according to the user manual (usually by opening to a specific angle and lifting off). Replace hinges in pairs with genuine Zanussi parts.
