hi! my baumatic b185ss-b oven door doesn't seem to close fully. with the door 'closed' you can hear the fan operating and feel some heat escaping from the door through a slight gap. pushing the door gently closes it properly but the moment you let go the door moves away slightly and the problem returns. girlfriend thinks it's the seal. i think it's door adjustment. is there any way of adjusting the door? or has some sort of retaining mechanism worn/given up? the oven is about 6 maybe 7 years old. thanks for any help!
the oven handle screw is missing where do i get a replacement and how do i fit it ?

i have this problem caused when the hinge gets dry and has a scrapey feel when using, then i oiled it and now its floppy and has a gap at the top. sounds exactly as you describe i think the metal of the slide has worn slightly and is causing the gap when closed i think the only thing is to replace the hinges.

there is no adjustment and this is usually a fault of the door hinge spring tensions.replacing the door hinges usually sorts problem out
