Customer: It's a Kalorik Maxx.
Contractor's Assistant: How long has this issue been occurring with your Kalorik appliance? What have you attempted so far?
Customer: It just started on the 13th.
Contractor's Assistant: Is there anything else the Appliance Expert should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they’ll be able to assist you.
Customer: I just want it to open so I can use it.
Thank you for reaching out. I will be assisting you with your appliance today and will do my best to help. I'm reviewing the information you've provided. If there's anything else you'd like to add, please feel free to do so. Could you send me a picture of the problem area and the appliance? I'm currently working on a solution, so please give me a moment to respond. I will strive to be as detailed as possible to help you understand the cause and solution. Please bear in mind that I am also assisting other customers, but I will make sure to attend to your needs as well.
Have you attempted to unplug it and then check the doors?
They only open about half an inch.
Could you send me a picture of the appliance?
I don't want to force it and break the glass.
No problem, I simply want to see how it appears.
I apologize, but I will choose to step back and allow another expert to assist you. I'm sorry I couldn't provide an answer. Wishing you a great day.

Hi, I have been in the repair field for over 20 years. I apologize for the issues you're experiencing. I'm here to assist you today.
I'm glad to help you determine whether your appliance requires professional repair or if it's something you can handle on your own. However, please bear with me as it may take some time to provide a detailed response!
If you open both doors simultaneously, that should resolve the issue.
No, it didn't resolve the issue; they still won't open.
What is its age?
The issue with that model is that the door can slam shut quite forcefully, particularly if the table is uneven. Does it appear that the top edge of the door is getting caught, or could the door be stuck together?
More like catching in the hinges.
If you give it a little shake, does it open then? The mechanism that connects the two doors can become wedged when the door closes forcefully. It's quite easy for the doors to close hard.
It will open about half an inch, but then it gets stuck.
Shaking the doors may help to dislodge the mechanism.
Could the hinges be warped?
The mechanism might be bent. Perhaps returning it to the retailer could be a solution? The door mechanism on that model tends to be quite problematic. This won't be the first issue you encounter with the door. Did you notice how difficult it is for the door to close? Another concern with that model is that while reaching for an item, you might accidentally nudge the door, causing the hot door to close on your hand.
I purchased it from an online retailer, so I will review their return policy.
Thanks for trying
You're very welcome. I believe you would be better off choosing a different model instead of that one. The interior space capacity is also not very impressive.
Are there any further questions or concerns you would like to discuss?
You are very welcome.
Please feel free to contact me if anything changes or if you would like to discuss further!
You can add me to your favorites from the "My Questions" page, and if you start the question with the words "For canuck the pro," that will request my assistance.
I definitely want to be your go-to expert. I can share some household tips that might be useful, such as how to flush your water heater, maintain your dishwasher, or anything else that could assist you. Thank you for allowing me to help with this today.
