My Oven Door Won't Shut?

Failure to close the oven door is a frustrating problem because, unlike an electrical or internal failure, it may initially appear to be a problem that you can easily fix yourself.

If you cannot close the oven door completely, there may be an object in the way, the hinges are misaligned or broken, the spring is worn, or the rubber seal is damaged. If your oven door does not close completely, you can check if the hinges are properly aligned. If the oven door hinges are to blame for the oven not closing, you can usually hear or feel it. If you can fold the oven hinges back and/or tighten the bolts so that the hinges line up again, the oven door will close again.

Before diving into checking the springs, try lubricating the hinges or tightening the hinges into the frame. If necessary, remove the oven door from the hinges to more effectively remove dirt or rust.

If you've done all of this and are still having a hard time closing the door, it's also possible that you need to completely replace the hinges. After replacing the hinges correctly, you will be able to close the oven door completely and use the oven efficiently. You will need to remove the oven door itself, which can be done by lowering it all the way, releasing the clips, then lifting it three-quarters to close, and pulling it up. Click learn more.
