Most oven doors handles are held in by screws from the inside of the door. Inside the front side of the door, so you need to remove the inside of the door to get at them. You should be able to remove the door from the oven or at least lock it in the down position. Carefully remove the screws and pay attention to which screws goes where. Then remove the back, tighten the screws holding the handle in and replace the back Document or take pictures/video of what you do to make sure everything goes back where it should. Ba careful with the glass.
most oven doors can be removed by opening the door until its about 1/4 open, or when it will stay open part way. when the door is in this position you should be able to just lift it off the hinges straight up. make sure you dont accidently push the "arms" of the door back in, as they are spring loaded and are hard to get back out, especially when the dorrs is removed. When done just slide back on the way you took it off.
I had the same problem today I found that you have to extend the hindge enough to have the lock tabs lock into the door to hold the hindge in the extend mode. If the tabs are not back in the door it will continue to snap back. After you lay the door in place be sure to extend the lock tabs back up into the oven side towards the pins that you hindge lay on.

Ovens
come in many varieties including freestanding units and stacked models
that are inserted into a wall. Kitchen oven units that get a lot of use
or are getting old may have problems develop, such as a loose or
squeaky door which may require replacing the hinges. You can replace
the hinges on the door to your oven by first removing the door from the
rest of the oven.

});
Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
Screwdriver
Step 1
Open
the oven door and examine the hinges to see how the they are secured to
the door. Some oven doors slide into the hinge assembly or have a
locking mechanism that secures the door to a latch on the main unit.
Step 2
Remove
the door from the oven by disengaging the locking mechanism and then
pull the oven door out. You may need to release a catch on the door or
remove a pin from a hole in the hinge.
Step 3
Place the door on a flat surface such as a table or the floor.
Step 4
Remove the screws that hold the sections of the door together to access the hinges.
Step 5
Remove
the hinges from the door. The hinges may be attached to the door with
screws or they may be held in place when the door sections are
tightened or secured.
Step 6
Insert
the new hinges into the door and secure them with the screwdriver or
place the section of door back on. Tighten all of the screws securing
the sections together.
Step 7
Place the oven door back into place by sliding it on the same way that it came off.
Although very tight (because the oven is only 1 yr old) i managed to get the hinges into the open position, then slide the door into position on the oven and close the door. The hinges did go back and lock as they should but I struggled for almost 30 mins before success.
you need to lock the hinges to get the door back.
it needs some strength
lay door flat on floor
force hinge against the spring until right back and put the locking arm over. i use my feet for this!
It might be because when the door was completely removed ( which they do rather easily for repairs and moving) it wasn't put back properly.
I would suggest you remove the oven door and re install.
You do not remove any screws or anything like that to remove the oven doors.
When you have the oven door open squeeze each hinge and shift then both outwards it will release the door from the hinge, the hinge stays on but the door will slide off the hindge. Afterwards check the alignment and reinstall the oven door
