Reasons for poor oven door closing
According to users, incomplete closing of the door is a common failure in gas stove ovens. Frequent malfunctions of the unit are possible due to a clogged nozzle that supplies gas, a broken spark plug, a damaged wire, a stuck power button or a unit associated with electric ignition.
The oven door does not fit tightly due to violations of the operating conditions of the appliance. Often children sit on an open door, and the brackets, unable to withstand such tension, bend and do not press the door leaf tightly enough. In this case, repairing the stove at home will not be difficult. If the reasons lie in problems with the electric ignition apparatus or the operation of the thermocouple, then you should seek help from an electrician or other specialized technician.
Other factors may include loose fasteners and faulty sealing gaskets. In the first case, the fastening needs to be tightened and the gasket replaced with a new one. It is possible to clean the gutter and install the seal after you remove the door from its hinges. Read on to find out how to do this.
Operating principles and design of gas stoves
These devices consist of a gas system consisting of pipes and hoses, an electric mechanism that illuminates, automatic ignition, as well as a device body made of steel and a certain number of parts.
The basis of the work is as follows: natural gas enters the burner from a cylinder, then the fuel comes into contact with oxygen, so that the combustion process becomes possible.
If we look specifically at the part that interests us - the oven, then we must say that gas ovens are divided into several types.
- Dual-mode. Installed on top of the device where the grill can be installed. This type of stove does not have ventilation.
- Multi-mode. A fan moves air through the oven, which uses hollow burners to keep the fire burning.
To avoid heat loss inside the oven, the ovens are equipped with thermal insulation, and the glass in the door consists of several layers.
How to fix the problem?
First of all, disconnect the door from the device. To do this you need:
- bend the hinges equipped with latches on both sides of the oven;
- Next, you need to press the door to the stop point of the latches;
- pull it towards you with smooth movements, and then up, and after that the door can easily be separated from the unit;
- in order to get to the support, in many oven models, you must remove the side parapets. First, we open the clamping lever on the hinges of the part, overcoming the resistance, and tighten the door three-quarters. The cabinet door should be placed on another soft surface to avoid scratches on the outside. After you remove the sides, you will find brackets that press the door to the unit.
- These parts should be carefully inspected and, if a defect is detected, eliminated using a hammer and pliers. If such machinations do not produce positive changes, it means that the spare part is broken and requires replacement with a new one. Select the bracket of the desired model for your oven. It’s better to come to the store with an old part and purchase an identical one in order to avoid unnecessary expenses.
Glass in the oven
Fireproof glass is used in the manufacture of gas stoves. It retains heat inside and allows you to heat and bake food evenly.
Cleaning the glass inside the oven is important not only for the appearance of the oven, but also for quality food preparation and hygiene measures.
Removing the oven door will help clean the inside glass.
According to the principle described above, open the door, fasten the hinges, remove the bolts along with the upper metal cover. Remove the glass from the inside and wash it with hot water and detergents. An effective cleaner can be prepared at home by mixing warm water and baking soda. This will help avoid streaks and wash away even old fat. For extra shine, manufacturers recommend wiping the glass with a cloth and white vinegar. After washing, install the glass in the correct order, releasing the hinges prematurely.
In addition to the obvious advantages of cleaning glass, you will acquire practical skills in removing glass and oven doors, and this will be useful if you need to repair a gas stove at home.

Features of gas stove ovens that you didn't know about
Manufacturers of many models of ovens use hydrolysis, i.e. cleaning walls and glass with steam. But few people know that this process is not difficult to do with your own hands. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan, place inside over low heat for half an hour. The steam will make cleaning the oven easier and will reach places where it is difficult to remove dirt with a sponge.
