Attwood Wedgewood Vision Oven Door ... won't close

[Sprig]

The Attwood Wedgewood Vision oven door in my 2003 Damon coach will not close.

In fact, it seems like something may be installed backwards because the door is currently spring loaded to OPEN by a small force.

The few times I have used the oven, I have simply placed a chair against the door. However, while a quick fix, and not something I need to do often anyways, I think it would be nice to know if there is a KNOWN issue and fix for this problem.

I CAN figure it out for myself, but I just can't believe someone has not already invented the wheel.

Thanks!

Just bumping this to the top. I really need help.

Just wanted to see if anyone found an answer to this problem. My Wedgewood oven door just will not stay closed. Likes about an inch. Springs seem ok. I took the door off could not find anything that looked weak, broke or bent.

Check to see if the door springs to see if they have broken or are stretched out of shape. Some oven have adjustment holes to reposition the spring tension. You may have to pull the oven out some to get to the springs.

:? I can see this for a Fridge door, but really does not seem to make sense on an oven.

:? :? :?

Why would I want to remove the oven door?

Again, I can troubleshoot the problem by thoroughly investigating the unit and find a solution for myself. That would include "looking" at the hinges after I took the door apart...

Remember the "wheel" comment in my OP???
