Clean the Door and Hinges

Dirt, grease, or debris can build up on the hinges and cause the door to not close properly.

Try cleaning the hinges and the door with a soft cloth and mild detergent.

Make sure to dry the area thoroughly after cleaning the detergent with warm water.

Check the Seal

The oven door has a seal that helps to keep heat inside the oven.

If the seal is damaged, worn, or dirty, it may prevent the door from closing correctly.

Inspect the seal for any signs of damage or wear and clean it if necessary.

If the seal is damaged it will need to be replaced.

To do this best to contact a qualified technician.

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.
