I purchased from this site and installed two new door hinges, part no. AP368960. Seemed very simple. But the door doesn't close tightly. Not even tight enough to push the button to turn the oven light off. I've taken it off and reinstalled it but can't see what might be wrong.

Most likely the problem caused by the door hinge receptacles (#6 on the body break down diagram).

Replace the receptacles if there is not possible to adjust them.

- The part number for the door hinge receptacle is AP4090071

Here are the break down diagrams for the Jenn Air oven Model SVD48600P

golly, my oven doesn't look exactly like that. Are those "receptacles" the pins that the hinges hang on inside the body? behind the hinge retainer and the hinge cover, items 10 and 11? Thanks

The break down diagrams, I referred to, are corresponding to the model number you posted. On other side this is not a picture - just a schematic.

You were right. The hinge receptacle is an assembly of a couple of pins that the hinge hang on inside the body and it is behind the hinge retainer and the hinge cover.

I have this exact same problem on this exact same model, the SVD48600P. I just recieved my second set of hinges...and I have the same problem. Just does not close tightly? What can be wrong with the pins?? Especially, if the original hinges closed fine? Is it possible that the new hinges are just not made the same as the old ones?

Did the above advice fix your problem???

I recieved this part from Maytag...71003351. Is this the same hinge as the AP386960 hinge, or did they send me the wrong hinge?

I checked my recpeticals...they look brand new...tight as a drum. I really do not think this is the problem. There is also no way to adjust them...

I think the new hinge is just slightly different that the original...which is a real problem as my door does not close....

Hi rpdugan,

The correct Maytag part number for the door hinge for your oven is 71003353 which crosses over to the APP part number AP368960.

So, I have the wrong hinge??? Pretty sure about that? That would sure answer my problem...

the first set of hinges I got was the part ending in the 3... Still not working right...
