74X4994 Genuine Oven Door Hinge Pair for Blanco Ovens, Spring Door Hinges Two per Pack, Fix a Dropping or Gapping Door

Part 74X4994 is a pair of genuine Blanco oven door hinges, so both sides come in one order. Hinges carry the weight of the door and keep it pulled tight against the seal. With no models on file for 74X4994, compare the number and shape with your old hinges, or send your oven model number through the parts enquiry form for a fit check.

Oven door not closing properly?

Each hinge has a strong spring inside that balances the door as it lowers and pulls it shut against the seal. When a spring weakens or a hinge arm bends, the door may drop open on its own, hang crooked, leave a gap at the top or refuse to close firmly. Heat escaping through that gap slows cooking and can overheat the controls above. A hinge that grinds, clicks or catches on its way down is also worn. Since both hinges do the same work, changing them together keeps the door even.

Fitting oven door hinges

Let the oven cool fully and turn it off at the isolating switch. Many oven doors lift off once the small locking levers on the hinges are flipped over. Keep those levers engaged while the hinges are out so the springs can't snap closed on your fingers. Fit the new pair, refit the door and check it closes evenly against the seal.

Questions about this part

Is this one hinge or two?

Two. Part 74X4994 is a pair, so both sides of the door are covered in one order. Replacing both at once gives the door an even feel and stops it sitting lower on one side.
