Fisher & Paykel Door Not Closing Properly

Unfortunately, the door of an oven not closing properly is a common issue.

Fisher & Paykel oven door not closing properly is typically caused by a latch or hinge issues

You must first determine what is preventing the door from closing.

• Latch issues: a broken latch that may need to be replaced. When trying to force the door open, some locks might be clumsy and flimsy on some oven models.

• Hinge Issues: Over time, rust and debris can cause the hinges on an oven door to become stiff. Attempt to keep these lubricated and clean. You could try moving the frame to realign the hinges if you think your door hinges have been broken or knocked out of alignment.

• Oven frame: Over time, regular heating and cooling of your oven might potentially lead to issues with your oven door. As a result, the framework may shift, and even a tiny movement could lead to a lock or latch failure. Repositioning the frame might be aided by tightening the screws.

• Worn door seal will also make it difficult for the door to remain closed and sealed. This needs to be replaced to stop heat loss from the interior of the oven, as oven seal detachment is one of the causes of extended cooking times.

If you are unable to fix these yourself best to call out a technician to take a look at the door.
