I own this door and it is about 1 year old. On really cold nights, both flaps stay cracked open and let cold in all night long. Anybody know how fix?

I bought some magnet strips and hot glued them to the existing strips. Makes the space between the magnet strips on the flaps and the door less. better chance to seal. I did it and they stay shut no problem. Good luck.

that one was installed in one of my rentals.. I have a similar one in my kitchen, carefully squeeze the soft-flexible cover and you will see how it hooks in one long side and slips in the other long side. if it is cold it is probably less flexible. and if you are ever working with one that is old, they do become brittle w. age.

Never had that problem. The door was the wrong one to begin with so we sent it back. Sorry I can't help you.

My dog door only had 1 flap, and the replacement only had one flap. Actually, it's the flap that I replaced. The other piece was the plastic insert that you put in at night, and did not come with the replacement flap.

I had a similar issue. I ended up drilling the hole a little larger and used a butterfly/toggle bolt. It pulled up tight and has been working well for about 6 months.

Both of mine are having the same problem. I actually taped a peice of and old tshirt around the ends to not damage my doorway.

sounds like you have the same door as me. the flaps do NOT work on mine. there is only one in the package and it is the wrong one

We had the same problem with ours. I don't think we want to invest in a new bowl because it will just crack again. We are going to try a sealant to get us through until we can purchase one that can hold up during the winter months.

Suzanne, we had problems closing the freezer door, too. Found small piece of white styrofoam stuck close to the hinge (was hard to see it). Once removed the door shut perfectly. Connie

I purchased this door after lots of debate with my wife. I wanted another cheap door around the $100 range, but after some researching this door appeared to be the best on the market. After installing it, and using it for about 2 months in the coldest winter ever recorded in Maryland history the door is night and day compared to the cheaper doors. I even had the 3 flap "extreme" version of the cheaper door. The single door flap stays warmer then my metal insulated door! Is $350 hard to swallow, yes it is but you will not be let down by how well it is designed and built. My back room actually stays warm now as before it seemed like a window was always open with a draft. I purchased this door after lots of debate with my wife.

I have not had any problem with the door. Maybe your toaster oven is defective. I find it very usefull.

Check the "door hooks". They are the little plastic hooks sticking out of the door when you open it. They're both mounted on a plastic strip (that you can't see), and they should move easily. If they seem sluggish, spray just a little silicon spray on the top one and work it up and down. That should make them move easily, and that should solve the problem. When they are all gummed up (for some reason), they don't fully disengage the safety switch when the door is closed, so the oven shuts off. Had same problem -- solved.

Hi Nancy. Once that door drops (closes) - it isn't opening up, being pushed in, out - or other wised open; unless done so with the collar - or manually through the panel.

So far mine works great, I'm a little corned about it being exposed to the winter elements and freezing up on me just when I need to open it most since I have it on my Storm Shelter. I did however have another one like it that locked up and I couldn't get the Combination opened. I called teh company and they sent me a replacement at no cost. I like it, and after this winter I'll know if I want more of them. Hope this helps.

Pack it up and send it back to AMANA. Let them pay to put it in a landfill. You are lucky if this is the only issue you are having with this machine. Seriously, the droopy door hinge is the tip of the poor engineering ice berg.

I've had mine for a long time and the same thing happened. What I did is to get a couple of large back to back velcro pieces and it seems to stay. You can also get some heavy duty super strength glue to hold the bottom velcro piece just make sure it isn't flammable. Regardless of the problem with the gooey velcro fall offs this toastie tush has saved my tush from freezing many mornings, lol. Good Luck
