Hi I'm Mat from eSpares, in this video I'll be showing you how to replace
the door roller catch and striker pin on this Rangemaster cooker.
If your door does not closed properly or it pops open during cooking
it may well be that the door roller catch or striker pin needs replacing .
Safety first: Always disconnect an appliance before carrying out any work.
The next thing I need to do is to removethe door at the front,
as you can see on this door's not closing correctly.
So what I'm going to do is replace both the roller inside the door there and the striker pin here as well.
So what I need to do is to take the door off. simple way to do that remove the meat rack from inside the door.
And there are two ways of removing the door you could either take out the screws top and bottom,
but for the video what I'm going to do is just loosen the hinge so the whole door comes off the cooker.
Undo one screw two or three turns the inner screw and then completely remove this screw here .
With that screwed now removed the hinge has got a little bit of movement
so I can lift it up over the pin and take the door out.
Now I've just put a carpet tile down to protect the door and to create a flat surface.
Now to access the roller catch what I need to do is separate the two parts of the door .
To do that I need to unscrew the two screws at the top there and two at the bottom here.
With the last screw removed I can now separate the two parts of the door and put the outer door to one side.
And here we have the roller catch on the inner door to remove simply undo the two screws that hold it in place.
you can see that on the new roller catch there is no thread for the screw holes
This is because when fitting the new catch the screws will cut their own thread.
To help with the threading of the screw holes I'm just going to pop the striker pin into the roller catch
so I can line the screw holes up perfectly and use the pin to adjust the catch if necessary.
I can then grab the screws and the screwdriver
and pressing firmly thread the screw holes.
With the roller catch fitted now remove the striker pin.
Reassemble the door, and refit it to the cooker.
To fit the door to the cooker I need to locate that pin into the hole in the lower hinge.
I can then fit the top hinge over the top pin with the door secure I can now refit both screws.
With the door fitted and our new roller catch in place the door now closes successfully,
however if you need to replace the striker pin that's easy to do.
Use a pair of pliers to undo the nut that holds it in place and the striker pin will unscrew from the cooker
and simply screw it into place.
You can use the nut to adjust the length of the striker pin .
Obviously when the door is closed it has to be sealed to help cooking.
And if it's in too far the door won't close correctly and it could pop open during the cooking process.
So there we have it, one new roller door catch and striker pin fitted to this Rangemaster cooker.
