We recently moved into a new home. The appliances are about 2 1/2 years old. We have a Jenn-air wall oven/microwave combo. Model # is JM08130DD. There are two problems which may or may not be related. First, the oven door does not shut completely. In order for the door to properly close you have to push it in and hope that it stays, otherwise it remains open slightly and the oven light stays on. On our ovens in the past there was usually a slight resistance when opening the oven door. In fact you could leave the oven door slightly propped open for broiling or cooling. You are not able to do that w/ this door. When the door is open all the way it appears to be over-extended. Could this be a do it yourself repair or do I need to call in a repair person?

The oven temperature is way off as well. Now of course this could be do to air leakage since the door doesn't close completely. But, the previous owner left a temperature gauge and the oven doesn't consistently heat to the selected heat setting. I could choose to set the oven at 400 degrees it may reach an internal temp of 325 or 450 or anywhere in-between. The back of the oven also cooks at a hotter temp than the front. I can bake a frozen pizza and the back of the pizza will burn or almost burn and the front of the pizza will hardly be baked at all. The convection setting does bake food a little more evenly but the back of the oven is still hotter. Can I re-calibrate the oven temp myself or would a repair person need to do this?

You would need new hinges for your oven door problem, please check your model# again, I can't get any info to pull-up on that one.

Your temp. issue is more than likely door to that oven door being slightly open.

Thank you for your last reply. I am finally getting back to you regarding the model #.

The oven I am referring to is a Jenn-Air microwave/wall oven combination. The only model number available is found in the mircrowave.
Model # JMC8130DDS and Serial # 10166888EE. I have searched the wall oven thoroughly and did not see any other model number tags. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Thanks,
