My old Kenmore stove has always had a problem with the oven door not closing correctly.

I basically I have to lift slightly by the handle in order to get it to get it high enough to get past the latch. The oven door will close without doing it, but it just doesn't close all the way like it is supposed to.

If I lift it as I close it, its fine.

The model number is 665.75834001. Any suggestions if there are any bolts I can tighten to fix this.

Any fix for this?

Hi,

Yes, I've seen this many times on my service calls when I worked at Sears, the new oven door hinges will fix it.

Here's the oven door hinges for your model(ORDER TWO):

You first need to remove the oven door, here's your manual: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/manual/3cs95fgibs-000582/kenmore-66575834001-gas-range-parts Start reading at page 34 to do that.

This video should give you the general idea of how to do it on your model, your Kenmore 665 is made by Whirlpool.
