When a residential kitchen oven door keeps popping open spontaneously during a heating cycle or right when you shut it, the issue is typically caused by a broken or worn-out spring catch mechanism, a snapped door latch hook, misaligned hinge arms that fail to maintain sealing pressure, or a heavy accumulation of grease caked around the fiberglass door gasket. If the latch cannot maintain tension against the internal gasket pressure, the door bounces open. You can troubleshoot door catches easily. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when replacing a broken spring catch, deep cleaning grease off the seal, or adjusting the hinge arms allows the oven door to stay firmly shut.
