We bought a buffet that has one really bad warped door. Is there any way that this door can be straightened without damaging the door?

If the warping is caused by part twisting after being wet to long, try wetting or soaking it, lay it flat with a lot of pressing weight and letting it dry slowly. Could put it in a steam room for a while then press until dry. It might not be stay flat so stabilize it somehow.

I've put wood out in the sun and they would straighten out. Make sure the ground is level.

It took TIME to warp it, make sure it takes time to unwarp it. Otherwise it may harm it more than fix it.
