Chef, Simpson or Westinghouse oven door sagging? Check the hinges

Each hinge carries part of the door's weight and uses a spring to pull the door closed against the oven seal. Years of opening and closing, plus heat from the cavity, slowly weaken the spring and wear the pivots. A failing hinge shows up as a door that falls open with a thud, won't close fully, rocks from side to side or leaves a visible gap at one corner. Heat leaking through that gap means slower cooking, wasted power and a hot front panel. Leaning on an open door or resting heavy trays on it speeds up the damage.

Tips for swapping the hinge

Let the oven cool and turn off the power before starting. Open the door fully and note how the hinge locks so the door can be lifted away, photographing each step. With a second person holding the door, remove the worn hinge, fit the new one the same way round and lower the door back onto both hinges. Close it slowly to check it sits square and seals evenly.
