Default Oven door closer

So. The heat had been leaking like a hot thing out of the gap behind
the oven door and we changed the rubber door seal which has helped
somewhat but has not cured the problem.

The door does not press as firmly against the oven as I would have
expected it to do. The oven is an Orbis which a)you almost certainly
have never heard of because b) it is a brand local to here and I am
not in the UK right now. But it has the usual bottom-mounted hinges
which flip over to release the door for removal.


Does this type of generic oven door have any
sort of tension-adjust mechanism anywhere?


Mine certainly does.

If so, what should I dismantle to get to it?


You don't dismantle mine to do that, you do
it with a screwdriver with the door removed.

Check the youtubes on how you do that.

Any thoughts gratefully appreciated!


Even the thought that you should shove
your head up a dead bear's bum ? Funky.
