A085563 Genuine Oven Door Hinge for Ariston Ovens, Replacement Ariston Oven Hinge Cross Referenced to C00085563

Ariston door hinge A085563 is a genuine part from the Ariston and Indesit group range, also known by the longer number C00085563. An oven hinge takes the full weight of the door every time it opens, so a worn one soon makes itself known. We have no model list on file for this hinge, so compare the number stamped on your old hinge, or the parts list for your oven, before ordering.

Signs an Ariston oven door hinge is worn

Each hinge uses a spring and a lever arm to hold the door up, let it lower smoothly and pull it tight against the seal when closed. Once the spring weakens or a pivot wears, the door may thump open, refuse to stay part way, hang lower on one side or leave a gap at the top. That gap lets heat escape, which can scorch the knobs and stretch out cooking times. A snapped hinge can also let the door fall, so it's worth sorting quickly.

Swapping an oven door hinge

Make sure the oven is off and cold. On most ovens the door lifts off once it's opened fully and the small locking levers on each hinge are flipped over, then it can be raised out at an angle. Keep the hinge springs under control as you work, because they're strong and can snap shut on fingers. Many repairers change both hinges together so the door closes evenly.

Questions about this part

Do I need to replace both hinges?

Not always, but if one hinge has failed, the other has done just as much work. Replacing both at once usually gives the most even close and a better seal. Check each hinge for cracks, play and a weak spring before deciding.
