If it's as old as ours the holes the hinge pins locate in have enlarged over time. This makes them sloppy. If you lift the door, is there a lot of up n down movement. Not closing properly will make the coven less efficient. I'm in the process of researching the parts required before Xmas. So we don't have a cooker failure on the big day??

Oven light wont turn off

you didn't send the brand name and model number but you might have a switch up on the console that will keep the oven light on or open the door and push in on the switch if the light goes out you could have bad door hinges,if the hinges are bad the door can't close tight enough to hit the switch and they'll have to be replaced or the switch is bad.

Oven door won't stay tightly shut

Oven door hinges are not adjustable, assuming you have fitted the door back correctly, and it is still not closing properly, then the only solution is to replace the door hinges.

Kitchenaid oven door will not stay closed

I had the same problem on my parents Kitchenaid KEMS378GWH0 oven, the door would only close enough to keep the light on. They propped a chair against it to cook. My father replaced the hinges and it worked for about a week. He noticed that pulling outward on the door at the very bottom edge often allowed it to close enough to use.
After completely dismantling the oven to get access to the brackets that the hinges slide into, we found it was not broken. We decided to expand on the only near solution we had and find a way to make the bottom of the door 'push out'. Our solution was very simple. Remove the small metal plate that covers the door insulation. This revealed that the insulation is a braided hollow rope that is held in by small clips that push through holes in the front of the oven. We threaded some small metal rods about 3/8 inch in diameter into the hollow insulation pushed the clips back in to re-attach the insulation, replaced the metal cover plate.
It worked!

My husband just figured this out.

- Follow Door removal instruction from the manual.
- There is a screw at the end of the hinge that can be adjusted.
- Adjust the screw to desired height.
- Secure lock nut.
