574296 Genuine Oven Door Hinge for Fisher & Paykel Pyrolytic Self-Cleaning Ovens, Pyro Door Hinge

This genuine Fisher & Paykel hinge, part 574296, is listed for pyrolytic oven doors. Pyro ovens run a very hot self-clean cycle, so the door and its hinges have to handle extra heat and keep the door pulled tight against the seal. Reach for 574296 when a hinge on your Fisher & Paykel pyrolytic oven has bent, seized or lost its tension.

Fisher & Paykel oven door not closing properly?

Oven door hinges carry the weight of a heavy, multi-glazed door and use springs to draw it firmly against the seal. On a pyrolytic oven that tight seal matters even more, because the door locks during the self-clean cycle and the oven checks that it's shut. Worn hinges show up as a door that falls open, sits unevenly, leaves a gap along the top, or lets heat escape and cook the knobs and fascia. A damaged hinge can also stop the door lock engaging, so the pyro cycle refuses to start.

Swapping a pyro oven hinge

Switch the oven off at the wall or isolate it at the switchboard and let it cool fully. Most oven doors come off by opening them all the way, flipping the hinge locking levers and lifting the door out at an angle. The door is heavy and full of glass, so get someone to help. Replacing hinges as a pair keeps the door square and the seal even.

Questions about this part

Should I replace both oven door hinges?

It's a good idea. Both hinges have done the same amount of work, and a new hinge on one side with a tired one on the other can leave the door twisted. A pair keeps the gap even all the way around the seal.
