The door and seal look fine and undamaged but the door does not pull tight against the oven body at top so fair amount of heat comes out during oven use although doesn't affect cooking. There is ca 0.5cm 'slack' ie after closing the door ,the door top can be manually pushed against the top of oven another ca 0.5cm.
Is there any way of adjusting the door or hinges so that the door /seal sits 'tighter' against the oven body at top?
Or is there any other way of fixing the problem?
many thanks for your help

If you take the hinges off, you can fit some washers between the hinges and the door to make it close it further. Probably not as good as new hinges, but cheaper. 2mm of washers will close a 5mm gap
This can happen if you put dishes on a open door or in my cas a child sitting on it. in that case. get a block of wood and a mallet. Give the the top bolds a controlled whack. and hey presto fixed.
The door hinges are not adjustable, the only solution is to replace both door hinges as it is the springs that are weak.
