When an oven door drops open, won't close square or bounces on its hinges, the hinges are usually worn.

Oven door not closing properly? Check the hinges

Oven door hinges carry the weight of the door and use a spring to hold it closed and control how it opens. As the springs weaken or the hinge arms wear, the door may drop open suddenly, sit unevenly, leave a gap at the top or refuse to stay shut. That gap lets heat escape, which overheats the knobs and slows cooking. A hinge with a broken spring or bent arm can also let the door fall hard, which risks cracking the glass. Both hinges on a door work under the same load, so it's common for the second one to be worn too.

Fitting oven door hinges

Make sure the oven is off and cold. With the door fully open, lock the hinge levers or fit the retaining clips as described in your manual, then close the door partly and lift it off. Hinge springs are under tension, so keep fingers clear. Swap the hinge, refit the door and check it opens smoothly and closes evenly with no gap.

Questions about this part

Should I replace both hinges?

If one hinge has failed, the other has done the same amount of work and is often close behind. Replacing both gives an even close and saves pulling the door off twice. Most oven doors run on two hinges, so check how many you're ordering.
