Your oven is one of the most important appliances in your kitchen. So, when the oven door doesn’t close correctly, it can be really annoying. There are several reasons why your oven door might not close properly, and depending on what’s causing it, there are several ways to fix it.
Causes
- Gasket A rubber seal prevents heat from leaking out of the oven. When the gasket wears down or is damaged, the oven door will not close correctly.
- Hinges: The hinges that hold the oven door in place can also become worn or damaged over time. This can cause the door to sag, making it difficult to close.
- Leveling: If the oven is not level, this can also cause the door not to close properly.
- Door latch: The door latch is the mechanism that keeps the oven door closed. If the latch is damaged or broken, this can also prevent the door from closing properly
