Both mine have had the plates for there the pins sit welded up by either me or previous owners. They just seem to wear out over time with all the vibrations going through that area, and also the pivot pin for the door itself. Once you get that sorted out so that there's enough meat there to hold the pins, those plates are shimmed to get the door tight to the base of the concave.
Getting that just right, I don't know the text book answer, maybe someone else does but I have mine set so it takes a bit of effort to get closed; to compress the cam spring to over center it, but not so much you have to get on your back and use your legs lol.
If its that tight I'd suggest loosening it off.
Too loose it'll move around a bit too much and wear out those plates. Too tight and she might not open up when it needs too.
With mine set so that a good shove will cam over and set the pins, a large wad will open the door but stay shut for normal operations.
Matt.
