An oven door that won't close properly allows heat to escape, wastes energy and can be a safety hazard. The most common causes are:
Worn or Damaged Door Seal
The rubber or fibreglass door seal degrades over time and stops the door from sealing. Replacement is straightforward and inexpensive. Cost: £50–£90.
Broken Door Hinges
Oven door hinges wear out and can break, causing the door to sag or hang at an angle. Cost: £80–£130 per hinge pair.
Broken Door Spring
Some ovens use springs to hold the door at different angles. A broken spring causes the door to fall open or slam shut. Cost: £70–£120.
Damaged Inner Door Glass
If the inner glass has cracked or broken, the door may not close flush. Cost: £90–£160.
