When a kitchen oven door fails to close tightly, allowing heat to escape and causing uneven baking, the issue is usually caused by warped door hinges, a degraded or misaligned fiberglass door gasket, or bent mounting brackets. To fix this, first inspect the rubber gasket around the oven perimeter for tears or flattened spots. Second, check the spring hinges on the sides of the door. You can troubleshoot loose oven doors easily by testing the seal. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when replacing a worn fiberglass gasket, tightening hinge mounting screws, or replacing warped spring hinges allows the oven door to seal completely flush against the front frame.
