Introduction

In more than 30 years of appliance repair, I've never seen a repair that is as quick and easy as this one. I've had hundreds of viewers to my video on this repair write to me saying: "It seemed like magic, and took less than one minute!

To fix the problem, you have to reset the oven door springs. About four years into the life of the oven, the springs lose some of their ability to pull the oven door shut.

You'll be surprised how easy this problem is to fix.
