Hi I'm Vance, and welcome to Repair and Replace.
The oven door has two hinges that are designed to help it open easily and stay closed.
If the door won't close properly, or if the springs are worn out, then you'll need new hinges.
In this episode I'll show you how to take apart the door and replace the hinges.
To begin you'll need a flat blade screwdriver, a Phillip's screwdriver, and gloves.
Now if you need a new set of hinges, then you can enter your model number
on the AMRE Supply website.
From there you'll see a parts breakdown with the exact replacement parts listed for your model.
Door hinges come in several varieties.
In most ovens the hinges can be unscrewed after removing the outer glass panel.
Some hinges run the full height of the door.
For these you'll have to remove the handle.
Alternatively, some models have hinges that are built into the oven body.
This repair is a little bit different and is not covered in this video.
When working on your oven, it's always best to disconnect power at the breaker.
Since there might be some sharp edges, it's best to wear cut resistant gloves.
Open the oven door.
Many doors have locking tabs that secure the door hinges.
Use a flat blade screwdriver to release the locks.
Now close the door until it rests partially open.
Lift up to move the door off the hinges.
Next pull the door backwards.
Now set the door on a clean work surface.
The outer door glass is held together by the top cap, two side pieces, and a lower bracket.
Remove the screws at the bottom.
In some cases, you can remove the outer glass and frame as one piece.
In other models you'll have to separate the lower bracket first, before sliding out the glass.
If your hinges run the full height of the door,
then you'll have to remove the handle and the top cap.
The handle screws are either on the top or on the inside of the door.
So you might have to flip the door over.
Remove the screws.
Now separate the handle and the top cap.
In some models the handle is connected through a mounting bracket.
Unscrew the bracket and separate the pieces.
The door hinges are held in place by several screws
which are usually on the bottom or the back of the oven door.
Now loosen the screws.
Next lift up slightly to remove the old door hinges.
Slide the new hinges into the slots.
Now align the holes, and tighten the screws.
If your model has a top cap that is separate from the handle,
then you'll have to align the holes of both pieces.
You can use the screws to help line up the holes.
Next tighten the screws.
Now if the handle uses mounting brackets, then it's a little easier to replace.
Simply align the bracket, and tighten the screws.
With the door almost closed, align the door hinges into the slots on the oven.
You might have to push it slightly forward until it catches and drops into place.
Next open the door all the way.
Now push the locking tabs back into place and close the door.
Finally reconnect the power.
