85805450028816 Genuine Oven Door Hinge Plate for Electrolux Group Ovens, Hinge Mounting Plate, Also Listed as 0545002881

Genuine Electrolux hinge plate 85805450028816, also numbered 0545002881, comes from the Electrolux group oven range. It's the plate a door hinge mounts to, holding the hinge in line so the door swings and closes squarely. Hinge plates are made to suit particular door and cavity designs, so confirm the number or compare the old plate's shape and holes before you order.

When an oven door hinge plate needs replacing

The hinge plate anchors the door hinge to the oven, taking the weight of the door every time it opens. If the plate bends or its fixing holes tear out, the door can drop at one side, rub on the frame, or fail to close and seal properly. Heat then escapes, so food takes longer to cook and the kitchen and controls run hotter. A door that sits crooked, or shows a visible gap along the top, is a sign to check the hinges and their mounting plates.

Fitting a hinge plate

Turn the oven off at the wall and let it cool. Take the door off first, as most oven doors lift away once the hinge levers are locked open. Photograph how the plate and hinge sit, then transfer the hinge to the new plate if needed. Refit everything, then check the door closes evenly and the seal touches all the way round.

Questions about this part

Do I need to replace both hinge plates?

Only a bent or damaged plate needs replacing. Check the plate on the other side while the door is off, though, because both carry the same load and an uneven pair can leave the door sitting crooked.
