We don't have a model list for this hinge, so compare the number and the shape of your old hinge, including the mounting holes and the length of the arm, before you order 858491178.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOven door dropping open or not sealing? Check the hinges\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn oven door is heavy, and the spring in each hinge carries much of that weight so the door opens smoothly and pulls itself closed against the seal. When a spring weakens or breaks, the door may drop open with a thud, refuse to stay closed, or sit crooked with a gap at one side. Heat then escapes around the door, cooking takes longer, and the knobs or front panel above can get hotter than they should. A broken spring can also let the door slam, which risks cracking the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux group part 858491178\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOlder five digit number 49117\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring hinge for an oven door\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo model list on file, compare with your old hinge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChanging an oven door hinge\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitch the oven off at the wall or switchboard and let it cool completely. Hinge springs are under tension, so open the door fully and lock the hinges with their clips, if your oven has them, before lifting the door off. Wear gloves and keep your fingers clear of the hinge arms. Where both hinges are the same age, replacing them as a pair keeps the door level and closing evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need one hinge or two?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost oven doors use a hinge on each side. If only one has failed you can replace just that one, but the spring on the other side is often tired too, so many repairers fit both to keep the door balanced. Check whether your hinges are handed before ordering two.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Electrolux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551327383630,"sku":"858491178","price":14.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/858491178-genuine-electrolux-oven-door-spring-hinge","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
