Oven door does not completely close, no obstructions. Problem has existed for over a year, sometimes while in use the oven light comes on and the oven stops heating. Can the hinge springs be adjusted? Thanks for your help.

Hi.

The door spring cannot be adjusted - you need to replace them as part of the door hinges. Sometimes the inserts (receivers) also should be replaced.

Please check the model number, the one you have provided doesn't come up.

Thanks Simon. The model # is KESS907SSS00. You mentioned replacing the inserts as well, where are they located and are they hard to get to.

Hi.

The receivers (inserts) are the parts where the hinges are going into. To replace them you will need to pull the oven few inches out.

This is the left side Part number: 4455605
Part number: 4455605


For the right side use Part number: 4455606
Part number: 4455606


The hinges for the st. steel door Part number: 9760579
Part number: 9760579


Here are the breakdown diagrams and Oven parts for Whirlpool KESS907SSS00 - AppliancePartsPros.com

Post the results.

Simon.
