Oven Door Won't Close - Wall Oven

Possible Solutions

Does your oven have a soft close feature? 

Some models offer a soft-close or smooth-close feature. This feature has a specialized hinge that makes it easy to shut the oven when your hands are full. When closing the door, once resistance is felt, give the door a nudge, and it will continue to close on itself. 

Are the oven racks preventing the oven door from closing?

  • Verify the oven racks are inserted completely. 

  • Select models have a roll-out rack.  Ensure the roll-out rack is inserted completely.

Is the bakeware preventing the oven door from closing?

Verify that the bakeware, roasting pan, and/or casserole dish used is not too big for the oven cavity, preventing the oven door from closing. Hot air must circulate to cook food evenly. Allow 2" (5.0 cm) of space around the bakeware and oven walls.
