Westinghouse oven door not closing properly

Oven hinges carry the full weight of the door every time it opens, and their springs pull it closed against the seal. When a spring weakens or the hinge arm wears, the door may drop open, sit crooked, or leave a gap at the top that lets heat escape. You might notice the oven taking longer to reach temperature, steam on the control panel, or the door slamming down instead of easing open. A hinge that has snapped or jumped out of its slot needs replacing before the door falls.

Oven hinge replacement tips

Make sure the oven is cold and switched off at the isolator. With the door fully open, secure the hinges as the design allows before lifting the door clear. The hinge springs hold real tension, so keep fingers away from the moving arms. Fit the new hinge into the oven body, rehang the door and open and close it a few times to check it sits square.

Questions about this part

Can I use this hinge on either side?

Yes. It is described as a left or right hand hinge, so one part number covers both positions. It is sold singly, so order two if both hinges are worn or the door sags evenly.
