the door will not turn off the int. light when closed. It needs an extra push to turn it off, but it still turns on if the door is bumped.

5 The problem - door not closing all the way / oven light would stay on. I removed the screws from the top and bottom of the stainless steel door and took it off. Then with screw driver I adjusted the spring loaded hinge to make a tighter closure to oven. Actually my problem was on the left hinge of my W30400P oven. I moved the hinge (at the top of the door area) to the right just slightly and it has worked ever since! Then just put the door cover back on with the removed screws.

5 The springs on mine are not adjustable, however after disassembling the door I swapped the door hinge/spring assemblies left to right as one of them felt stronger than the other, and after getting my door back together the light stays off now. I guess once that spring gives out I will have to buy new springs. Nice that maytag didn't give us ANY ability to adjust spring tension on this thing.
