Kenmore Oven door won't close tightly

[ritarandall]

Oven door won’t close tightly, open about half an inch. Looked at hinges, took off door, the hinges don’t hit the wall of the stove, are they supposed to?They lack about 3/8" from hitting. Do I need new hinges?

Yes, they are. Looks like you need the new hinges.
