Hi, this is Matt with AppliancePartsPros.com.
Today we'll be showing you how to repair your appliance.
Remember, anytime you work on an appliance, make sure it's unplugged or the circuit breakers
are off so there's no chance of electrocution.
In this video we're going to show you how to change out the oven door hinges.
It's going to be a very easy repair and shouldn't take that long to show you how to do it.
If you already have these, great.
If not, you can click on the link below or get them at AppliancePartsPros.com.
When you open up the package, you're going to get three hinges, two of which you're going
to use and one you're not.
The stainless steel one has a yellow stripe and a little bit bigger spring.
This is the one that's used on the normal doors.
The main reason you'd be changing out the oven door hinge is if the hinge became damaged
in any way or the arm became bent and the door no longer closes properly.
First, we need to remove the door.
In order to get the hinges locked, we have to swivel these little brackets over and into
the up position.
Once you have the door open to the 45 degree position and locked in place, you can lift
the oven door off the body.
This repair will be easier if we place the door on a flat surface such as a table.
Now that we have the door on the table, we can take it apart and do the repair.
In order to take the door apart, we have to remove all the screws that hold it together.
Be careful when you're taking it apart.
As the screws come out, the doors are probably going to fall apart.
You're going to have to remove all four screws on the hinges so later we can remove the inner
door liner.
And then there's three big black screws on each side of the door.
Be careful when you're taking this top one off.
It holds the trim and the handle on.
Once these two screws have been taken out, the handle and trim assembly can be removed.
And there's one screw in the middle that has to be taken out.
We also have to take the side trim pieces off.
You can pop them off with a small screwdriver.
They have a couple pins on the bottom that hold them in place.
In order to lift the inner door off, we have to kind of push the hinges up and then lift
the inner panel up.
Once you have it off, there's a couple tabs in the front.
You'll have to lift the inner panel off the tabs to remove it and set it aside.
Lift the inner metal panel up and remove the hinges from the channels on each side.
When you get this, you're going to get three hinges.
Our particular model is going to use the one without the yellow stripe on it.
If you already have these, great.
If not, you can get it at AppliancePartsPros.com.
When you get the new hinges, they don't come threaded from the manufacturer, so it's going
to be pretty hard to drive the screws in, but you should be able to do it.
In order to put the hinges back in, you have to lift up this metal plate, set the hinge
in the channel.
We're just going to lift up the metal, put it in the channel.
In order to put the inner door panel back on, we have to put the little tabs into the
frame on each side.
As you lower this down, you're going to have to push up on the inner panel that holds the
glass and the insulation, and make sure that you tuck all your insulation in as you go
around, making sure that none hangs off.
We can push this inner panel up a little bit so all the insulation is underneath.
Then we didn't put the screws in this hinge earlier because we need to slide it up a little
bit so we can get it inside the door liner panel, and then pull it back down.
Then we can put the screws in it.
And put the two bottom screws in to hold it in place.
Once you have the inner door liner back in place, you can line up the screw holes and
put the screws in.
We can also put in the middle screw on the trim piece.
Before you put the rest of the door back together, we have to put the side trim pieces in.
So what you have to do is press the glass this way so you clear this little edge, and
then stick this pin in this hole.
You've got to kind of rotate it in, and then this locking tab goes in this hole right here.
Push the top of the trim into place and hold it, and then slide the glass back over a little
bit on this side so we can go put the trim in on the other side.
So the trim on this side goes in the same way.
Just kind of rotate it in.
Put the locking pin here, and the locking pin there in the frame.
Once you have it in place, you can push the glass back over in the center so it's centered
in the middle of the door.
We have to put the screws in to hold the door together.
When you put the door together, sometimes the screw holes don't line up.
So what you have to do is stick your hand in the bottom of the door and press up on
that little metal frame that is in the middle.
And you can see it's kind of half lined up now.
So you just press up a little bit until you can see the screw holes, and then you can
put the screws back into the hinges.
All right.
We'll do the one on the other side.
You may have to get a small screwdriver, kind of stick it in there, pull it over so your
holes are lined up.
Then you can put the screw in.
On these upper screws, sometimes the screw holes, the screws are not long enough to reach
them.
So if you put your hand inside and push up on that inner metal plate, you'll lift up
the screw threads so you can put it in.
When you put the handle assembly back on, make sure that the trims are pressed in.
They go on the inside of the vent trim.
This little slot right here, the glass goes into that.
So make sure you line it up and get the glass in there.
Once you have the upper trim and handle assembly in place, you can go ahead and put the door
And each trim is underneath it on each end.
You can go ahead and put the screws back in.
Now that we have all the screws installed, we can go ahead and put the oven door assembly
back on the oven.
When you're pushing the hinge in, make sure you push down enough so this little notch
in the hinge goes right on this metal bracket.
Once you have the door mounted back on the oven, you can go ahead and open it up all
the way and rotate these little locking tabs back up into the hinges so they're out of
the way.
Make sure you do it on both sides.
Once you have both locking tabs swung out of the way, you can go ahead and close the
Now that you've finished repairing your electric range, you can plug it back in and test it
out.
