Caloric Oven door damaged or not functioning properly
If your Caloric oven door is damaged, loose, or won't close properly, start with the door hinge. A bent or broken left or right door hinge is the most common cause of oven door hinge problems and may require an oven door repair or hinge replacement. Next, inspect the outer door glass for cracks or breaks. The outer glass can be replaced, but removing the oven door and laying it on a sturdy, flat surface is usually necessary. A torn or damaged door gasket is another likely cause because it prevents a proper seal, allows heat to escape, and can keep the oven from reaching the correct temperature or entering self-clean mode. Less commonly, the inner door glass or glass window may be broken, or the door handle may be loose or damaged. Always wear eye and hand protection when handling tempered glass. Before ordering a door hinge, door gasket, door glass, or handle, enter your Caloric oven model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific range, stove, or oven.

An oven door repair may be needed if the door hinge breaks or is bent out of shape. Oven doors have two door hinges, a left and right. On some ovens the same hinge is used, on other ovens the right hinge and left hinge have different part numbers. The door hinge sometimes is sold with all necessary parts and springs, other times the parts need to be ordered separately. An oven door repair for a door hinge is a relatively easy repair for a do-it-yourselfer.
