Genuine Fisher & Paykel part 574342 is the small door hinge used on Fisher & Paykel built-in ovens, also listed under 574342P. Compatible models are not on file for this hinge, and hinge styles vary between oven ranges and between the doors of a double oven. Match the number on your old hinge, or send the model and serial number from your oven's data label through the parts enquiry form before ordering.

When a Fisher & Paykel double oven door needs a new hinge

The hinge carries the weight of the door and uses a spring to hold it shut against the seal. On a double oven the smaller door tends to be opened often, and over time the spring weakens or the hinge arm wears. You may notice the door dropping open on its own, closing with a gap along the top, sitting crooked or bouncing back when you try to shut it. Heat escaping past a poorly closed door slows cooking, wastes power and can discolour the cabinetry or control panel around the oven.

Swapping the small oven hinge

Isolate the oven at the switchboard and make sure the door and cavity are cold. Open the door fully, lock the hinge arms with the clips or levers provided, then lift the door off at an angle. Lay it on a soft surface, unscrew the worn hinge and fit the new one the same way round. Fitting hinges in pairs keeps the door closing evenly.
