Euro oven door sagging, gapping or hard to close?

Oven doors are heavy, especially with several layers of glass, and the hinges take that load every time the door opens. Inside each hinge a spring and lever set how quickly the door drops and how firmly it closes. Worn hinges let the door gap at the top, fall sharply, wobble from side to side or refuse to shut fully, so heat leaks into the kitchen and the controls run hot. Hinges also bend if the open door gets used as a step or a shelf.

Changing the door hinges

Let the oven cool and switch it off at the isolator. Open the door fully, flip up the locking levers on both hinges, then close the door part way and lift it up and out. Undo the screws holding the hinge in the oven frame, as access varies by model, and fit the new hinge in its place. Replacing both sides together gives the most even action.
