574500 Genuine Oven Door Hinge for Fisher & Paykel Ovens, Replacement Door Hinge for a Dropping or Loose Oven Door

Number 574500 is a genuine Fisher & Paykel oven door hinge. Oven hinges vary a lot in length, spring strength and fixing pattern, even within one brand, so the safest way to order is by matching this number on your old hinge. No model list is on file. If the number has worn off, send your model and serial number through the parts enquiry form with a photo of the hinge and we'll check it.

Oven door dropping or not closing properly

The hinges carry the full weight of the oven door and use springs to balance it, so it stays where you leave it and closes firmly against the seal. Over time the springs weaken, pivots wear or a hinge arm bends from someone leaning on the open door. Signs include a door that slams down when opened, won't stay shut, leaves a gap at one side, or lets heat escape and fog the controls. A badly sealing door also wastes energy and can overheat the surrounding cabinetry.

Replacing oven door hinges

Make sure the oven is off and cool. Most oven hinges have a lever or clip that locks the spring, so open the door fully and engage it before lifting the door off. Replace hinges as a pair if both are worn, so the door closes evenly. Refit the door, release the locks and check it seals all the way round.

Questions about this part

Should I replace both hinges?

If one hinge has failed, the other has done the same work and is often close behind. Changing both keeps the door level and the seal even, so order two if you are replacing the pair.
