Oven door dropping, gapping or not closing

Hinges carry the full weight of the oven door and use a spring to hold it shut against the seal. With heavy use, someone leaning on the open door, or a broken spring, a hinge loses tension or bends. You'll see the door drop open on its own, sit unevenly, leave a gap at the top, or slam shut too hard. Heat escaping through a gap can scorch the knobs and front panel and make cooking times creep up. A door that grinds or catches as it moves is another sign of a worn hinge.

Changing an oven door hinge

Turn the oven off at the switchboard and wait until it's cool. Open the door fully and lock each hinge with its clip or lever, if fitted, before lifting the door off at an angle. On some models the side trim or front frame needs loosening to reach the hinge screws. Fit the new hinge, refit the door and release the locks. Test that the door holds and closes evenly.

Questions about this part

Do I need a left and a right hinge?

No. This hinge suits either side, so order two of the same part if you're doing both. Replacing them as a pair keeps the door balanced and closing evenly.
