My oven door does not fully close! If I apply pressure it closes but springs back about 3/4 inch which allows heat to escape at the top of the door. There is nothing visible that blocs the door from closing. The seal is fine and I have even removed all 3 racks. Removed the doors and checked the hinges which appear normal. I do realize that some heat will escape at the top of the doors, but this appears to be abnormal.
Is there a way to adjust the hinges so that the door will close without the space at the top?
Thanks
As far as I know there is no adjustment.
Check that the self clean door latch is not holding the door open.
Did you remove and replace the door as it should state in the operators manual?
Often this fixes the problem but you must follow their procedure
Below is a hinge kit for this unit.
Often when you see a kit like this it means there were problems with the original parts.

The oven door latch does not impede the closing of the door. Also installed the door as instructed in the manual. In looking at the picture of the hinges, I now realize this is not spring loaded so over time if the door were to warp because of heat it will never close properly. It is also possible that resting anything on the door like a turkey etc, would cause the mechanical hinges to bend ever so slightly resulting in condition described. Frankly, this is a poor door design. Over time the door would eventually drop down lower and the lack of tension to push it back into place will cause a poor seal.
Unless there are other suggestions, I think my next step would be to replace the hinges at the bottom.
