My oven is about 7 years old. Recently my wife informed me that the oven door would not close all the way so the light would stay on. After inspecting the door and hinges I could not see anything that seemed broken. I concluded that the hinge springs may have become worn and were not strong enough to completely close the door. I ordered new hinges on-line and replaced the hinges. When I re-installed the door it seemed to close properly. A few days later the problem resurfaced and the door does not close completely. Please help.

Do I have to remove the oven from the wall to get to the hinge recievers or can I just remove the front parts of the oven chasis?

Looks like you do have to remove the whole oven from the wall and remove the side panels.
