# LG oven door repair

### Look at the gap along the top with the door shut

Stand level with the door and look at the line where it meets the frame. A gap that is even all the way across is right; one that opens out at a top corner is a hinge that has dropped, and that corner is where your heat has been going. Two other signs are worth reporting: moisture or a permanent haze between the panes of glass, which means the pack has lost its seal, and a door that has become heavy or falls the last few inches instead of gliding, which is a spring. None of it produces an error, because nothing about a door is measured, and all of it makes an oven that seems to bake unevenly.

What this involves

Slow preheating and uneven cooking with a good sensor is usually the door

The door is heavier than it looks and the alignment is the job

F10 and F20 are the lock rather than the hinge

Check the door against the frame

An even gap all round, and no light showing at the top corners.

Test the hinges and springs

A door that falls rather than swings, or one that will not stay ajar, has tired springs.

Inspect the gasket

Flat spots and hardening. A paper test works here as well as on a refrigerator.

Reassemble the glass pack correctly

The gap between panes is part of the insulation and the order of the panes matters.

Verify preheat time

Measured, so the improvement is real.

### Something is stuck between the glass panes.

It gets in through the vent slots at the bottom of the door, and the door has to come apart to retrieve it. Worth doing at the same visit as anything else on the door, because getting in there is most of the work.

### The door locked itself and will not open.

That is the self clean lock, and it releases on its own once the cavity is genuinely cool, which can take a couple of hours. If it is still locked cold the next morning, the latch motor or its switch is the repair and it is a familiar one.
