Possible Causes

Dry or worn door hinge pivots, debris in the hinge mechanism, bent hinge arms.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before removing the oven door.

  • Step 1 – Remove the door: Engage hinge locks and lift the door off according to the user manual.
  • Step 2 – Clean hinges: Wipe away any debris or baked-on grease from the hinge arms and receiver slots.
  • Step 3 – Lubricate: Apply a small amount of high-temperature-safe lubricant to the hinge pivot points (avoid getting lubricant on visible surfaces).
  • Step 4 – Reinstall the door: Reinstall the door and test for smooth operation. If squeaking persists or the door does not move smoothly, replace the hinge assemblies.

Note: Do not use general-purpose oils that may smoke at oven temperatures.
