1 Minute Fix for Oven Door That Doesn't Close All the Way (DIY)

August 2024 ยท 1 minute read

Introduction

In more than 30 years of appliance repair, I've never seen a repair that is as quick and easy as this one. I've had hundreds of viewers to my video on this repair write to me saying: "It seemed like magic, and took less than one minute!

An oven door that won't stay closed wastes energy and can damage the stove when the oven heats up. And, when the door isn't completely closed, it's hard for the oven to get up to the right temperature.

To fix the problem, you have to reset the oven door springs. About four years into the life of the oven, the springs lose some of their ability to pull the oven door shut.

You'll be surprised how easy this problem is to fix.
