Adjust the Door
If the hinges and seal are in good condition, you may need to adjust the door as doors can sometimes drop.
To do this, open the door and look for the screws that hold the hinges in place.
Loosen the screws slightly and adjust the door until it closes properly. Then, tighten the screws back up.
Check the Alignment
The oven door may not close properly if it is not aligned with the oven.
Make sure the oven is level and adjust the legs if necessary.
You can also try moving the oven slightly to see if it improves the alignment.
