33180023 Genuine Oven Door Hinge for Technika Ovens and Cookers, Replacement Drop Down Oven Door Hinge

Hinge 33180023 is a genuine oven door hinge from the same 3318 hinge series used on Technika ovens. These hinges look similar but differ in arm length, spring strength and fixing, so it's important to match the number stamped on your old hinge. We don't have compatible models on file, so send your oven model number through the parts enquiry form if the old hinge isn't marked.

Signs your oven door hinges are worn

Oven door hinges carry the weight of the door and use springs to balance it, so it stays partly open and closes firmly against the seal. As the springs weaken or the arms wear, the door can crash down when opened, refuse to stay up, or sit crooked with a gap at one corner. That gap lets heat escape, which makes the front of the oven hot, slows cooking and wastes power. A hinge that grinds or catches as the door moves is also on its way out.

Swapping oven door hinges

Let the oven cool and switch it off first. Most doors lift off once the hinge locking levers are flipped over, so open the door fully, lock the hinges and lift it away at an angle. The doors are heavy, so get help. Replacing both hinges at once keeps the door balanced. Check the door closes evenly against the seal afterwards.

Questions about this part

Do I need to replace both hinges?

It's usually best, because both hinges carry the door and their springs wear at a similar rate. A new hinge on one side and a worn one on the other can leave the door sitting unevenly.
