Signs of a worn oven door hinge

Oven door hinges carry the full weight of a heavy glass door, and a spring in each one holds the door shut against the seal. As they wear, the spring weakens or the hinge arm bends, and the door stops closing squarely. You might notice it dropping open on its own, a gap at the top or down one side, heat leaking past the seal, or a grinding feel as you open it. A door that has been leaned on or used as a step can bend a hinge in one go.

Fitting a new oven hinge

Let the oven cool and switch it off first. On most of these doors you open the door fully, flip the small locking levers on the hinges and lift the door up and out at an angle. Take care, as the hinge spring is under tension. Swap the hinge, refit the door, release the levers and close it slowly to check it sits flush against the seal.

Questions about this part

Should I replace both hinges?

If one hinge has worn out with age, the other has done the same work and is often close behind. Replacing both keeps the spring tension even so the door closes squarely. As this hinge suits either side, order two of the same part number.
