ORPINGTON APPLIANCE CARE · INDEPENDENT GUIDANCE

The oven door no longer closes as before

An uneven gap, a door that drops and a latch that will not release are different complaints. The behaviour helps distinguish alignment, hinge and closure issues.

Describe the movement

Say whether the change followed cleaning, glass removal or moving the cooker. Mention contact with surrounding furniture. Avoid forcing the door or handling a hot cavity to check the gap.

Keep the heat complaint separate

Heat escaping or slow cooking may accompany a closure problem but does not prove a seal is the cause. Assessment can examine the whole closing mechanism and glass arrangement before choosing parts.
