My oven door doesn’t close tight. Sometimes the light is on from door not being shut. Can I add spring tension?
For model number MER8700DS1
Hello Tony, thank you for the question. Based on our understanding of the issue, we would suggest you replacing the door hinge, part number PS11754072, to fix the issue. The hinges on an oven door control the rate at which the door opens and also allow the door to stay open at an angle. Good luck with this repair!

The oven would take an hour to preheat.

the side, we ordered this element. It was perfect. All you have to do is unplug the oven, take out the bottom pan covering the element by removing 2 screws in the back, remove the lower small cover on the back of the oven and then unplug the old element, unscrew the old element on the inside of the stove, then install the new element and put everything back like it was. Nothing to it. It worked like a charm and my oven now heats up fast again. Easiest appliance repair job ever!
