Hampton Regency Stove

[sgrmagnolia]

Hi All. In my continuing effort to figure out why my stove keeps over firing, I have noticed two things. One: the bottom of the door fails the dollar bill tests in epic fashion. Gasket is one year old. Not sure if there is a way to adjust the door for that. Two: the gasket on the right side, where it lays next to the assembly for the latch, does not make contact with the face of the stove but rather falls down inside of the latch assembly. I can't see how an airtight seal could possibly happen that way. Seems to me that the whole door needs to sit about a half inch over to the right for the gasket to get a good seal. Can anyone else let me know if their gasket does the same?
Thanks

Some pictures would help

This is the only shot that I can get. As you can see, the gasket just barely makes contact with the face of the stove as it passes by the latch assembly. Toward the top of teh assembly, it doesn't appear to make contact at all.

Did you adjust the hinge assembly all the way to the right? If you have the door somehow doesn't match the stove body

No hinge assembly to adjust unfortunately. Door sits down into a welded hinge at the top on the right.
