What differs is the consequence — heat loss on an oven, water on a floor from a dishwasher, and on refrigeration, a compressor that never stops and a cabinet that alarms. ### Why adjustment comes before parts These doors are built to be aligned, and a heavy panelled door will move over years of use. A new seal on a door that is not sitting square is a repair that lasts weeks. It is also the cheaper answer, which is the right reason to try it first. ### What decides the figure How many doors, whether a seal is needed as well as an adjustment, and whether the door carries a cabinet panel that has to come off and go back on aligned. This article is based on: - Official manufacturer documentation - Internal repair procedures - Technician repair history - Company quality standards Before you book ## Questions about thermador door seal and hinge repair Close a sheet of paper in the door and pull. If it slides out easily anywhere along the edge, the seal is not gripping there. Do it at four points on each side — seals usually fail at the bottom corners first. Looks shut and is sealed are different things, especially on a panelled door that has dropped a few millimeters on its hinges. The door alarm is often the first honest sign of it, before frost or a temperature alarm. Usually, yes, and that is the first thing tried. Professional doors are heavy and they are designed to be adjusted. Replacement is for a hinge that is worn rather than out of alignment.
