Grill door hinge problems and what they look like

A grill door is opened often and is frequently left partly open while grilling, so its hinges carry the door's weight at all sorts of angles. Worn or broken hinges show up as a door that drops suddenly, won't hold its position, hangs crooked, or won't close flush with the fascia. A sagging grill door lets heat escape towards the control panel and knobs, which can damage them over time. If one hinge is worn, check the other side as well.

Swapping a grill door hinge

Turn the oven off at the wall and let it cool. Open the grill door and note how the hinge is fixed to the door and the cavity frame before undoing anything. Support the door while you remove the old hinge so it doesn't drop. Fit the new hinge in the same orientation, tighten the screws evenly and check the door opens and closes smoothly.

Questions about this part

Do I need to replace both grill door hinges?

Not always. If only one has broken, a single hinge fixes the fault, but if the second is also stiff or loose, replacing both keeps the door even. Check whether your appliance uses the same hinge on each side, as some use left and right versions.
