An oven door repair may be needed if the door
hinge breaks or is bent out of shape. Oven doors have two door hinges, a
left and right. On some ovens the same hinge is used, on other ovens
the right hinge and left hinge have different part numbers. The door
hinge sometimes is sold with all necessary parts and springs, other
times the parts need to be ordered separately. An oven door repair for a
door hinge is a relatively easy repair for a do-it-yourselfer.
If the outer door glass is broken, it can be
replaced. This oven door repair requires that the oven door be removed
from the oven and layed down on a sturdy flat surface. The outer door
glass is made of tempered glass. Use eye and hand protection when
performing this oven door repair.
Open oven door. Flip metal holder down at hinge to lock hinge. Lift door with hinge attached up slightly and off oven. Reverse to re-install door, making sure notch at bottom of hinge is hooked in frame of oven properly.
The user manual probably wont have instructions for replacing your door hinges anyway. The service manual would, but they don't generally supply those with the oven.
I'd need to know the brand and model of your oven in order to give advice on fitting, as would any other expert here. Some ovens have sprung tension hinges, others have pivot/swing hinges.
Usually, u open the door as far as possible and at the lower end of the hinges you shoud find what look like 2 small catches, pull these up and latch them on to a hook or something similar on the main part of the hinges, this compresses the springs, and then lft up the door and pull towards u, this should release the door, and then change the glass, then offer the hinges into the slots, and pull the door back down, then release the catches.
Plz rate my solution.
Thanks.

in different thread.. Basically have to pry plastic trim ring off inside of door with putty knife (careful, it cracks easily) to get to screws on bottom of door. See second pic. Top screws are easily accessible from inside of door. Spring can easily be replaced by hand once you get adequate access. You'll need a fairly stubby right angle screwdriver (I used a cut-down #2 Phillips bit and small Vice-Grips as a make-do) to get to the screws. Also need Torx (T10, I think) to detach the shock absorber doodads from the door where they attach above the hinges. If you're just starting to take the door apart, be careful when you take out the top 2 screws on the inside-- they hold the inside plastic piece on , but they also hold the whole outer stainless/ glass/ handle piece on. It just slips in at the bottom, so be ready to slide it out when you take these screws out.
In most cases, you remove the cover, mark the hinges (so they get right back where they were to prevent leakage) remove the hinges, then remove the door.
If you want to just replace a door panel, normally
you have to separate the door panels (as shown in the attached photo)
and then you'll see the previously hidden screws you need to remove.
Or you can watch a YouTube video (not a video I made) that demonstrates how it's done.
You can usually find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here.
