OBES91-56 Genuine Oven Door Hinge Pack for Blanco Ovens, Contains One Old Style and One New Style Hinge

OBES91-56 is a genuine Blanco oven door hinge pack, and it works a little differently from most. Each pack holds two hinges, one old style and one new style, to cover both versions Blanco has used. Only one of the two will fit your oven, so a pack replaces one hinge. For an oven door with two hinges, order two packs and keep the matching style from each.

Blanco oven door won't stay shut? Time to check the hinges

Oven hinges let the door fold down and spring back up, holding it firmly against the door seal while you cook. When a hinge spring weakens or the arm bends, the door may drop the moment you let go, stay ajar, or close with a visible gap along one side. Heat escapes through the gap, so the oven takes longer to heat and the controls and cabinetry around it get hotter. Damaged hinges also put strain on the door glass and seal, so it's worth replacing them before something else breaks.

Choosing and fitting the right hinge

With the oven off and cold, remove the door and compare your old hinge with both hinges in the pack. Keep the one that matches exactly and discard the other. Fit it in the same position and orientation as the original. If the hinge receivers in the oven frame are worn too, they come the same way under part OBES91-57, with one old and one new style in each pack.

Questions about this part

Why do I need two packs?

Each OBES91-56 pack contains one old style and one new style hinge, and your oven will only take one of those styles. Most oven doors use two hinges, so two packs give you two matching hinges for a complete change.

What are the hinge receivers?

The receivers are the matching parts in the oven frame that the hinges slot into. They're sold separately as OBES91-57 and are packed the same way, with one old style and one new style receiver in each pack.
