Purchased the oven used and have now discovered the door will not close tightly. After closing it eases open to the light switch trigger spot. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Boney,
The model number you posted does not look as a valid Jenn Air model number. Verify and repost it please.
Gene.
The Model number I posted was written on the manual my daughter recieved when she bought the unit. Where is the Model Number ? Thanks.
Boney
Boney,
All manuals are written for a few similar models and the number you posted looks like the part number for the manual itself.
Hopefully the Model Number Locator will help you to find the model number.
Gene.
Gene Does JJW9530D look better? My daughter and a Sears guy had a heck of a time trying to get a model number, and the reference you sent only covers free standing oven/range combos. The door seems to respond to tweaking the hinges but the seal still isn’t very good. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Boney,
According to the Technical bulletin issued by Maytag in regards of this problem the solution is to order and install the kit AP4010213
which consists of the door hinges, hinge receivers and door liner.
Gene.
We have this same model in a townhome that we used to live in and now rent out. It was fine at first, but then wouldn’t close all the way for our renters. We had a Maytag repair man out who replaced the hinges, but that didn’t change anything. Then, he showed me how to “fix it” - he took two screwdrivers and put them on either side, handle down in between the door and the oven, just above the hinges. He then pushed it closed and applied gentle pressure when it met resistance from the handles in the way. So, I’m guessing that he was bending something in the door or frame? Anyway it worked… for a while. Every 6-12 months I get a call about this issue and go out and do it again, and it works for a while.
I would love a “real” fix to this issue. I’ve been doing some reading at various forums and some say that it is just the brackets in the oven that have been beefed up since the original, that they should be replaced with the hinges. This is the only place I’ve heard of this kit that includes the door liner. Has something changed in the design of the door liner? Or are they assuming that it has been bent as the a way of dealing with the issue before? I’ll gladly get it if that’s what it takes. Just want to know what and why I’m replacing. Our local Dey Appliance Parts store didn’t show that kit or part number, just the individual parts, so I’m double checking.
Thanks for your input!

One more note. Not sure if it matters, but mine is the the one with the microwave on top and the convection oven on the bottom. Part number is JMW9530DAB. Can you verify if it is the same repair kit? Thanks again!
Shawn,
The above listed kit was designed by the manufacturer to correct this well known problem after some researches made by Jenn Air engineers. The Service bulletin is attached to the reply. I don’t know how Boney ended up fixing his oven because he never posted it.

The model number you posted makes a big difference because it is not listed in this Service bulletin.
Very likely the problem is a bad or dislodged hinge receptacles (#8 on the diagram).

Gene, thanks for the response. Glad I asked.
Do you have a breakdown of what the model numbers mean? For instance, I know that the last letter is just the color code. I’m curious what the two letters before that would signify, as they are the only difference between my model and the ones listed in the bulletin you included.
Just want to make sure that I fix it right. Also just curious.
Thanks again!

OK, one more quick question… while I am at it, would you recommend replacing the hinges too, or just the receptacles?
OK, I lied… I have another question. Sorry to be a pain.
I was just looking over your handy parts diagrams and for the individual parts, you cross reference which models use the part. If you look at the 3 main parts of that hinge replacement kit (the hinge, the receptacle and the door liner), it references my model and the ones listed in the service bulletin.
I guess I’m curious if the parts are common between the models, why would they not require the same replacement kit. I’m wondering if it’s possible that some models were just not included in the bulletin?
I would hate to order just the receptacle, then find out later that I really needed the whole kit, as the kit costs much less than the parts if purchased separately.
Again, thanks for your time and input.

Shawn,
The first letter is production code and the second letter is listing. Don’t ask what it means more specifically. I don’t know.
In your model number the first letter is “D” while all model numbers listed in the Service bulletin do not have this letter. The part numbers for the door hinges and the door liner are different for your and other models. So this kit definitely would not work for your oven.
Gene.
Guess I’m confused, because the model number that the original poster Boney referenced was “JJW9530D” (I assume that he left off the last 2 letters?), and then you referenced that kit.
Shawn,
I could overlook it. You are right.
Gene.
Gene,
I might have found the source of our confusion. I think we might have been talking about 2 different kits. When I searched for the kit number(s) 12002111 or 12002112 in that bulletin PDF, that comes up as just the hinges and receptacles for those models listed in the bulletin. Those hinges look different than the ones in my oven.
The kit I was referring to is the one that you linked to in #6 of this thread: Part number: AP4010213. These hinges do look like the ones in my oven, and mach the look of the ones linked to from the parts diagram for my model.
The thing is that page doesn’t list what models it supports, like the other parts pages do.
Shawn,
After a few more researches I found that the kit with part number AP4010213 is the correct kit for the model numbers with “D” as the production code and should be good for your oven as well.
Gene.
