1. Remove the pan drawer 2. With someone holding glass up, remove the four screws at the bottom of the door that hold the glass front to the door frame. Gently lower the panel about two inches until the side guides are below the door trim cap. Place out of the way so it doesn't fall over etc. 3. Keeping the door closed, use a spring puller to remove each spring from the hinge. (I made one out of a hanger and a screwdriver. Double thickness at the hook, wrapped and secured around the screwdriver to make a handle) If you do things this way be VERY careful. Be sure it is really strong and is not going to slip. The springs are really under tension and will shrink down about an inch from where they are hooked. (Be sure to support the door so it does not fall open when the springs are removed. It will just make things worse.) 4. After the springs are off gently open the door all of the way. 5. Pull down the hinge locks from the oven body and lift the base of the door up. This will lift the door hinges off of the mounts in the oven frame and allow you to pull the door away from the body. 6. Place the door on your box or workbench etc 7. Remove the two screws on each side of the door that hold the hinges in place. Remove the hinges.
Reinstallation is in reverse.
Hinge repair. By placing the lower part of the hinge (by the axle) against a ruler I was able to see that the upper section was bent out on each hinge. To correct it I placed the hinge over a pair of 4x4 blocks so that it curved up in the center, and hit it a few times with a hammer. The metal was very responsive and quickly bent back into shape. Be careful here as you don't want to bend them too far. I actually went a little past true, wanting to get a little more push at the top of the door. I placed the hinges directly on the oven to see the difference and they looked good (Be sure to put a piece of cardboard or rag between them and the top to keep them from scratching the surface.
Put the hinges back in the door, screw it together and hang it back on the stove, replace the springs and the glass, and check your fit. Good luck.
Usually the door dont come off just the front glass comes off for cleaning...there should be two or more screws on the top of the frame of the door when these are removed the glass panel should clip off...you will need to apply some pressure to remove the glass but enough that it starts to bend the door frame...be careful..
Ovens
come in many varieties including freestanding units and stacked models
that are inserted into a wall. Kitchen oven units that get a lot of use
or are getting old may have problems develop, such as a loose or
squeaky door which may require replacing the hinges. You can replace
the hinges on the door to your oven by first removing the door from the
rest of the oven.
jQuery('.intro .thumbnail').each(function(i,e){
jQuery(e).find('img').one('error',function(){ jQuery(e).remove(); });
});
Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
Screwdriver
Step 1
Open
the oven door and examine the hinges to see how the they are secured to
the door. Some oven doors slide into the hinge assembly or have a
locking mechanism that secures the door to a latch on the main unit.
Step 2
Remove
the door from the oven by disengaging the locking mechanism and then
pull the oven door out. You may need to release a catch on the door or
remove a pin from a hole in the hinge.
Step 3
Place the door on a flat surface such as a table or the floor.
Step 4
Remove the screws that hold the sections of the door together to access the hinges.
Step 5
Remove
the hinges from the door. The hinges may be attached to the door with
screws or they may be held in place when the door sections are
tightened or secured.
Step 6
Insert
the new hinges into the door and secure them with the screwdriver or
place the section of door back on. Tighten all of the screws securing
the sections together.
Step 7
Place the oven door back into place by sliding it on the same way that it came off.
I have a Kenmore oven and all I had to do was remove the screw at each end of the handle (accessed with the door open) and the very front section just opened up - SIMPLE!! Wiped it down put the screws back in. Did it all by myself - just have your cleaning cloth in reach before you start. Can't believe I looked at those drips for years and it was that simple!!!
Just managed to put the doors on. Do the bottom door first. There are 2 little spikes on the bottom of the door. You need to slot them into the holes in the frame. Then make sure that the little metal flaps on the top of the door fit UNDERNEATH the inner door frame. Screw together.
Same with the top door, additionally add the trim on top.
Thanks to solution #1 - I've literally been fuffing about since yesterday evening, I was about to call out the engineer! :)
Hope this helps (technique used on EOG9330XN):
1) With the door open, on each hinge, there is a top cover which lies flush with the hinge. Simply swing this cover up and back towards you. This unlocks the hinge. Undo both and carefully close the door, holding it at the bottom. The door should be able to be pulled away from the frame now. Lay the door on a flat surface.
2) The oven will normally be attached to the surrounding built-in cupbpard. If so, unscrew all attachment screws (mine had at least three per side) and pull the whole oven out about seven inches, supporting if neccessary. Each side panel has a locating screw in bottom front corner, so remove the screw. Peel back the side panel (only thin alloy, but watch for sharp edges) sufficiently to see.....
3) The two side securing screws for the door hinge receiver should be visible. After pulling receiver forward, if loose, tighten securing screws (use lock washers if available, as Electrolux don't provide them).
4) Reverse the procedure to finish job, fitting the door in the near vertical position to engage hinges in the receivers. Support the door, lower to open position and flip the locking hinge covers back.
[This technique works if the hinges aren't worn and if the door doesn't close properly, it usually means that the receivers are loose and have been pushed back into the oven frame].
