Anyone have a problem with the oven door staying closed? It was fine until put together and opened for the first time. Now it will not stay closed!

We bought this for our granddaughter almost a year ago and have not had any problem with the door. Very satisfied still with the product!

No, everything seems very sturdy in mine! My toddler has been using it for almost a year now and everything looks like new! Very happy with this product!

I have had no problems with it. My daughter has been playing with it for 6 months with no problems.

I never had that problem. Might need to send back or try to bend the fastener to a slightly less round. Mine holds well shut until pulled open. Good luck.

Mine is not a tight fit. It sounds like a flaw in the construction of the oven. I would get hold of Hamilton Beach customer service to report the problem and see what they want to do about it.

I did not have this problem. It sounds to me that one of these things is likely: 1. You installed it wrong and you need to take it apart to reinstall. 2. Manufacturer defect. Hopefully you did not close the door and end up on the outside, because then you will have to try sliding something in between the door to push the lock out of the way. It will move even if the door is locked.

I haven't had that problem, althought mine has come apart several times. I push the part into the upper piece and turn it in the direction shown by the arrow on the lower part to lock it. I'd offer the suggestion to firmly seat the parts together and then twist the two pieces in the direction shown by the arrows. That's all I can offer.

Mine wouldn't re-seal either, so i just squeezed all the air out and rolled the top down & used a clip to hold it closed. Has worked for me.

Hi, Joe- Are you having trouble closing the freezer? The only reason I can think of for that is that the way you have positioned the food in the freezer may be blocking the drawers from moving correctly. If you don't have food in the freezer and the door is not closing, then you need to contact Customer Service for assistance.

Send it back. They should replace it. I have had mine for more then a year and it stays closed.Henry

I used it 4 times and my doorwon't shut. Our local Radio Shack had it happen to 3 units on display. What did you do to have it fixed?

I haven't had that problem, nor has my daughter who uses them. If I were having that issue, I think I would perhaps think about lowering the oven temperature and then, if that didn't work, I'd consider altering the time. One or the other of these should address the problem...but I would find a way to keep using the mats...I LOVE the easy clean up!

Mine was new and there is no insulation on the oven door. It's not an oven to cook temperature sensitive food that's what I feel. I use my on low temp to keep food warm and it works great as I had a hard time once trying to maintain a temperature. The small cylinders can get frosted up and used up when cooking with the oven and the burners, it's best to use a larger propane bottle (2-5 gallon) to keep consistent gas flow if doing major cooking. It's a great stove for camping and basic cooking.

I also have not had that problem and 100% agree with Esteban Barfknecht. Even though I was skeptic, I even pushed on oven door as tight as it would go and was still able to move the wire around but didn't move it alot as may have pulled the prob out of the object in the oven. Hope your question was answered.

I have not had that problem but you may want to lower the temp on the oven a few degrees and if you stick a toothpick in the center & it comes out clean, the inside is done. Hope that helps.

Mine was a bit snug, but with a bit of pressure it was still able to close it. You can also try flipping it over. Look at the little weld points and see if any of them are sticking up, if so. use a metal file on it or just return for new one.

Gee i have 3 of them and hasn't happened. My first suspicion is maybe the bolt hole is a little too snug. I'd check if you have the same issue with the door open. Then loosen the plates a little to see if you still have the issue. Several things could cause it, but maybe when they originally drilled the holes they were a little off?

Take a peek at your unit. Has the metal plate that holds the door shut via magnet disappeared? My husband actually screwed the plate to the door and fixed the problem.
