Before opening any electric appliance, ensure it is switched off and unplugged – have multiple safety measures.
Opening the Case
Opening the Case
At the back, remove 12 phillips head screws around the left, top, and right of the back of the cover
At the left side, remove 2 Torx screws and remove 3 phillips screws underneath the plastic grate.
It can help to slide the oven to the edge of the work area to access the screws underneath without tipping the oven.
At the right side, remove 2 Torx screws and remove 3 phillips screws underneath the plastic grate.
This step is the same as the left side.

An approximately 4" long (relaxed) extension spring is needed.
A spring diameter up to about 1/4" (shown) can be accommodated.
Several springs can be chained together (shown).
Ensure the spring assembly is stretched/extended somewhat while the door is closed; there should always be some tension on the door.

Extension Springs (Amazon)
These springs have open loops on the end, which are easier to install, but more likely to separate.
Extension Springs (Home Depot)
Each package contains 2 qty 1/4" springs; we needed 4 qty 1/4" springs (2 packages).
We like the closed loops on the spring ends, to prevent springs from separating in the future. These are a little trickier to open up with needle nose pliers, but they should be more secure.
