Some oven hinges come in male and female versions, so check which one your oven uses before ordering. With no model list on file for this number, compare your old hinge carefully and check the model and product code on the oven, or send them to us to confirm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOven door dropping open or not sealing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hinge spring holds the oven door shut against its seal and controls how it lowers when opened. As the spring weakens or the pivots wear, the door may flop down instead of easing open, stop partway, sit unevenly, or fail to close fully. That gap lets heat and steam out, so food takes longer to cook and the control panel above the door can run hot. A hinge bent by someone leaning on the open door will also stop it closing square.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine part DAU063053\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMale oven door hinge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed for multifunction ovens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied under De'Longhi DAU numbering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSwapping an oven hinge\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet the oven cool fully and isolate the power. Open the door all the way and, if your hinges have locking clips, flip them over before closing the door partway and lifting it out at an angle. Check both hinges, as the other side has usually worn the same way. Fit the new hinge, rehang the door, release the clips and make sure it shuts evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I replace both hinges?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's worth checking both. Oven hinges share the load of the door, so when one wears out the other is usually not far behind. Replacing them together gives an even close and saves pulling the door off a second time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De'Longhi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551434403918,"sku":"DAU063053","price":65.39,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/dau063053-genuine-delonghi-multifunction-oven-door-hinge-male","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
