Question Oven door not close tight
Brand: Maytag
Model Number: JMW8130AAB
Age: 5 - 10 years

I have a combined built-in microwave and oven. Problem: the oven door does not close tightly. It seems not enough force to push the door tight. But the oven light does shut off. I wonder if it's designed that way (I am not the home original owner), or the door hinges need to replaced. On this model there is no door adjustment at all. The seal looks OK to me. Thanks, Andy

There should be a spring on each hinge that pulls it shut. Check to see if one of them has broken.
