140199795018 Genuine Oven Door Hinge 5.6kg Rating for Electrolux Group Ovens, Replacement Drop Down Oven Door Hinge

Oven door hinges are rated for the weight of the door they hold, and 140199795018 is the genuine Electrolux group hinge rated at 5.6kg. Fit a hinge with the wrong rating and the door can drop open hard or spring shut. This one suits Electrolux group ovens whose door matches that weight. Other ratings are listed under different numbers, so match your old hinge's number or your parts list.

Oven door dropping or not closing? Signs of a worn hinge

Each hinge carries a spring that balances the weight of the door as it opens and closes. When a spring weakens or a hinge arm bends, the door may fall open with a bang, refuse to stay part open, sit crooked, or leave a gap at the top where heat escapes. That lost heat can lengthen cooking times and warm the controls above the door. Hinges are usually replaced in pairs, since the one that hasn't failed has done the same work.

Replacing oven door hinges

Switch the oven off at the wall and let it cool. Open the door fully, flip the locking levers on both hinges, then close it part way and lift it off. On many built-in ovens the hinge screws are in the side of the frame, so the oven may need to come out of its cabinet, which for a hard-wired oven is a job for a licensed electrician. Rehang the door and test it closes firmly.
