12971100009823 Genuine Oven Door Hinge Assembly for ILVE Ovens, Sold as a Single Hinge

This listing is for one hinge. The 12971100009823 door hinge assembly is a genuine ILVE spare, and it comes as a single piece rather than a pair, which suits the common job where only one side has failed. ILVE's long 14 digit part numbers are easy to mistype, so compare the full number with your parts list or the old hinge before you buy.

What a failing oven door hinge feels like

Each hinge pairs an arm with a spring that balances the oven door, so it opens smoothly and pulls itself shut against the seal. When the spring tires or the arm wears at its pivot, the door gets harder to control. It may flop open, stop at an angle, rub on one side, or refuse to close firmly. A poor close lets heat escape, so food cooks unevenly and the oven front and knobs run warmer. Clicking or grinding at the hinge line is another early warning.

Tips for fitting a single oven hinge

Let the oven cool fully and switch it off at the wall or isolating switch. Take the door off, lay it on a towel and undo the old hinge from its mounting. Before you fit the new one, compare the two side by side, as left and right hinges can differ. Keep hands clear of the spring while it's under load. Once the door is back on, open and close it several times to check the seal meets evenly.

Questions about this part

Is this a pair or a single hinge?

It's a single hinge. The 12971100009823 assembly is supplied as one piece, so if both hinges on your oven are worn you'll need to order two. Check that the number on each side matches before doubling up, as some ovens use different left and right hinges.
