Stainless Steel Kitchen Aid oven issue--opened oven door and let it fall freely (mistake)--door will now not close the last inch or so, it is just open enough for the light to stay on--nothing appears bent or broken--springs in door are fine--have removed door and reinstalled several times--repair center guy can find nothing wrong--any ideas

Steve,

Sounds like you may have damaged the door hinges, recievers or supports.

Hopefully, you did not damage the oven cavity front panel.

Check the oven front panel for chipped porcelain or a bulge (out) in the area around the opennings for the door hinges, that would require a new front panel.

Also check the inner door liner for the same situation(chips and bulges).

Otherwise, you need to suspect a bent hinge, hinge reciever, reciever support.

It may sound and look daunting, but it's not that bad.

Good Luck,
