It is not adjustable and I never had any problems. How much pressure you have to put on the door to keep it open? I do not see any reasonable solutions. Gene.

I have to apply a normal amount of pressure to open the door. When I have to place a large pan in it with two hands, I need someone to hold the door open for me.

But you can't get Caloric parts now. The parts I received are in a bag with Maytag on it and also has a Whirlpool Corp label on it too. Part #Y07655200. How do I get an original Caloric part without looking for someone to throw out their old Caloric oven and taking a part off of it?
