Genuine Electrolux oven door hinge, part number 140199792122. Its description carries a 7.6kg rating, and because oven hinges are matched to the weight of the door they hold, that figure matters when you're choosing a replacement. It's an Electrolux group part, so confirm it against the parts list for your oven's model and product number, or the number stamped on your old hinge, before ordering.

Oven door not closing properly? Check the hinges

Each hinge carries half the weight of the oven door and uses an internal spring to pull it closed against the seal and hold it steady when open. Over time the springs weaken or the hinge arm bends, especially when people lean on an open door or rest heavy trays on it. Typical signs are a door that drops open too fast, won't stay shut, leaves a gap at the top or sits lower on one side. Any gap lets heat out, so cooking takes longer and the oven front can run hotter than it should.

Replacing an oven door hinge

Isolate the oven at the switchboard and make sure it's cold. On most ovens you open the door fully, lock the hinge clips and lift the door away at an angle. Keep each hinge locked until the door is back on, because the spring is under tension. Swap the hinge, refit the door and check it closes evenly. Many techs replace both hinges together.

Questions about this part

Do I need to replace both hinges?

Not always, but if one hinge has worn out the other has done the same amount of work. Fitting a pair keeps the door level and the spring tension even on both sides.

How do I know this hinge suits my oven?

Find the model and product number on the label around the oven door frame and check them against your oven's parts list, or send them to us before ordering. Hinges can look alike but are matched to door weight.
