03040078 Genuine Oven Door Hinge Left or Right for Baumatic, Lofra, Damani Ovens BAF9003 BAF9006 LEF9EGSS LEF8EGSS LIF9002 P9CERSS E9GGFLSS

This genuine oven door hinge, part 03040078, is made to fit on either the left or the right side of the door, so one part number covers both. It suits Baumatic, Lofra and Damani ovens, with listed models including BAF9003, BAF9006, LEF8EGSS, LEF8GGSS, LEF9EGSS, LIF9002, P9CERSS, E8GGFLSS-2, E9GGFLSS and DGEUCCT900SS. If your oven door has started to droop or will not stay shut, 03040078 is the hinge to check.

Oven door dropping or not closing properly

Each hinge carries the weight of the door and uses a spring to pull it shut and hold it against the seal. Over time the spring weakens or the hinge arm wears, and the door starts to fall open on its own, sits on an angle, or leaves a gap at the top or one side. Heat escapes through that gap, which makes the oven slow to reach temperature, cooks unevenly and can overheat the knobs and front panel. A hinge that is bent, rattles or grinds as the door moves is also due for replacement.

Part details

• Genuine part number 03040078
• Fits the left or right side of the door
• Suits Baumatic, Lofra and Damani ovens
• Listed for BAF9003, BAF9006, LEF9EGSS and LIF9002 among others

Changing the oven door hinges

Make sure the oven is off and cold. Hinges are under spring tension, so open the door fully and secure the hinge arms as your oven's manual describes before lifting the door away, keeping fingers clear of the mechanism. Because both hinges wear at the same rate, replacing them together gives a door that closes evenly. Check the door shuts firmly against the seal before cooking again.

Questions about this part

Do I need one or two hinges?

Order one if only one side has failed. Since 03040078 fits either side, many people buy two and replace both together, because the second hinge has done the same work and is often close to worn out.
