SOURCE: Bosch Oven Door Problem - doesn't close at top
On our oven (Bosch Evolution 700 Series HGS7152UC), the problem was getting worse and worse. I found it is was worsening simply because the hinges had started to come loose. I removed the door as suggested above, and although there are no adjustment screws on this model I tightened the now-loose hinge mounting screws. For each hinge there are three screws altogether: two (phillips heads) on the bottom of the door and one (torx head) on the inside wall of the door. After tightening those screws it is a lot better, only leaks as much heat as it did when it was new which is tolerable. Still a bad design.
SOURCE: How to replace the hinges
Hi,
Follow the procedure below,
Open the oven door and grasp the sides with one hand on each side. Lift
the door up to remove it from the hinges. Set the door out of the way.
Remove the range top by unscrewing the attaching bolt on the front door
flange with a socket wrench. The screws are located in the upper
corners, where the door closes.
Slide the top of the range forward about 6 inches from the control
panel. Locate the wiring harness from the range top to the control
panel. Disconnect it by pushing in on the plastic tab and pulling it
apart. Grasp the top panel with both hands and lift it from the stove.
Set it aside in a safe place.
Remove the screws on the rear edge of each side panel that connects the
side to the rear of the stove. Also remove the screw on each end cap of
the control with a screwdriver. Lift the side panel up, removing it
from the key hole tabs on the front, and set to the side.
Remove the two hex head screws that attach the hinge to the front of the
oven using a socket wrench. They are located above and below the hinge.
Install the new hinges by attaching them with the hex head screws.
Line up the side panel with the front panel key hole and set it in
place. Attach the side panel to the rear of the stove with the attaching
screws and reattach the console ends with a single screw on each side.
Place the top panel back on the oven. Connect the control panel wires to
the range top by pushing the connector back together. Slide the top
panel back into position.
Secure the top panel by reattaching the screws under the front flange.
Open the ends of the hinges with your finger at about a 45 degree angle.
Set the door in the hinges and close the door.
Reconnect the power to the range and slide the range back into its
position
