How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door. Support the door to prevent it dropping.

  • Check hinge play: Open the door halfway and gently lift. Excessive movement indicates worn hinges.
  • Inspect seal: Look for gaps, tears, or hardened sections in the door gasket. Replace if not sealing evenly.
  • Adjust or replace hinges: Many Montpellier doors can be removed by opening fully and lifting off the hinge arms. Replace hinges in pairs.
  • Re-seat inner glass: If the inner glass is loose, tighten retaining brackets or replace broken clips.
