CAO900X-45 Genuine ILVE Oven Hinge, Replacement Oven Door Hinge for ILVE Ovens

Need the CAO900X-45 hinge? It's a genuine ILVE oven hinge, the part that connects the oven door to the cavity and controls how the door opens and closes. The code is a little unusual, with the CAO900X prefix and a -45 suffix, so match the whole thing against the parts list for your oven or the code on your existing spare. Other parts in the same series carry different suffixes.

Oven door hanging crooked? Signs the hinge is worn

A hinge does two jobs on an oven. It lets the door swing down on a fixed pivot, and its spring pulls the door back up so the seal presses tight around the opening. After years of heat cycles and daily use, the spring weakens or the pivot wears loose. The door may hang crooked, fall open on its own, or leave a gap you can see light through. Some people notice steam or heat pouring out the top of the door. Leaving it can damage the seal and put extra strain on the other hinge.

Before you fit the CAO900X-45 hinge

Turn the oven off and wait until the door and cavity are cold. Take the door off before working on the hinge, and get a second pair of hands, as oven doors are heavier than they look. Undo the hinge fixings, fit the new hinge in the same orientation and tighten it firmly. Rehang the door and check it opens and shuts without binding.

Questions about this part

Where do I find the part number on my old hinge?

Hinge numbers are sometimes stamped on the metal arm, but many hinges carry no visible marking. If yours has none, use the model number from the oven's rating plate, usually on the frame around the oven opening or inside the storage drawer, and send it through the parts enquiry form.
