140199792106 Genuine Oven Door Hinge Rated 5.6kg Door Weight for Electrolux Ovens, Spring Loaded Drop Down Door Hinge

This genuine Electrolux hinge, part number 140199792106, carries the drop down door on Electrolux group ovens. The 5.6kg figure in its description is the door weight the hinge spring is matched to. That matters, because Electrolux makes several hinges that look alike but suit different door weights. Match 140199792106 against your oven model, or any number marked on the old hinge, before you order.

Signs an Electrolux oven door hinge needs replacing

Each side of the oven door sits on a hinge with a spring inside it. The spring balances the weight of the door so it stays where you leave it, opens smoothly and pulls back firmly against the seal when shut. As a hinge wears or the spring weakens, the door can crash down when opened, hang lopsided, leave a gap at the top or refuse to close properly. A poorly closing door lets heat escape, so the oven takes longer to warm up, cooks unevenly and can scorch the knobs or benchtop above. A hinge rated for the wrong door weight causes the same problems.

Changing the oven door hinge

Switch the oven off at the isolator and let it cool fully. Most doors lift off once the hinge clips or locking levers are flipped open, with the door held partly open. With the door on a towel, undo the hinge screws and swap the hinge across. Many repairers change both sides together so the door closes evenly. Refit the door and check it shuts square against the seal.

Questions about this part

Do I need one hinge or two?

An oven door runs on a hinge each side. Compare the new hinge with your old one to check it is the same, and if both hinges are worn, replacing them together gives the most even door action.
