Problem Title:
Tuttnauer E/EA/EK/EAK Door Problem |
Problem Description:
Door does not close properly |
Reasons |
1. the door mechanism problem |
Solutions |
1. If the Door movement is stiff then lubricate the Door Hinge Pin If lubrication does not help then repair the hinge assembly If the Closing Device is stiff and does not run in and out smoothly then lubricate the threaded shaft. If lubrication does not help then replace the Closing Device If the Closing Device is screwed all the way down and the Door Gasket is not sealing the Chamber check for: A worn or damaged Door Gasket Damaged threads on the Closing Device Damaged bearing at the end of the threaded shaft on the Closing Device A loose Door Hinge. If the Door Hinge is loose allowing the Door to hang down this is most often more an inconvenience than a problem. As long as the hinge pin is not in danger of falling out and the Chamber is being sealed then no action need be taken. If the Plastic Door Cover is rubbing on the Cabinet when the Door is opened or closed, first determine which of the four mounting screws is closest to the problem. Then take one or two flat washers and insert them between the tab of the metal Door and the mounting hole of the Plastic Door Cover. Inserting the washers will push the cover out and relieve the problem. If the problem is in the middle of two screws then both screws will need washers. |
