SOURCE: 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!

Check the lineator actuator motor. If you remove the top cover there should be a strip of metal stuck on the cover to put pressure on the gear to keep it from free wheeling down. These is a tiny button/nipple that sits in the hole in the top of the gear shaft. Lose it and you're sunk. Work with good light and watch the grease. Good luck

These combi ovens are so prone to problems if you do not have descaling filter system hooked to the COLD water supply (the only water that should be fed to this unit) for your generator inlet. The other water hookup is for your condensate drain (condenses steam leaving cook chamber headed down the drain) and it does not need to be filtered but, also needs to be COLD. These decaling units are quite pricey but, a service call to replace the generator (boiler in laymens terms) will cost 3 times as much & the unit will be down for days waiting on parts. Call Blodgett w/ your model # & talk w/ technical service & ask their recomendation. They can be reached @800-331-5842 & follow the prompts. Depending on your water conditions it is still recomended to descale the unit on a regular basis using a QUALITY descaler (not the junk you buy from Sysco or Dollar general) Cleveland descaler is the BEST.

Have you turned off the house breaker to the unit to "reset" it? Leave it off for 2 min, turn it back on and see what happens. You'll need to reset the clock to use the oven, but hopefully it will allow you to open the door. Let us know if it works and we'll dig deeper.
