Hello, I have a Bosch cooker HSF135 FEU/01 and the door do not close firmly. How can I extract and replase the hinges?

The springs have to be replaced, but they are inside the outer shell.

It will not be the door seal at fault. More likely is that the hinges are worn out or strained.

There are adjustment screws or bolts on the hinge attachments to the oven. Loosen them and adjust the door using wedges to hold the door in place.

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.

Hello,

Welcome to FixYa.

Most if not all Thermador owners manuals have this outlined in them, however, here you go.




Removing the Oven Door

• Fully open the oven door.
  

• Raise the U-clip over the hook on each of the hinges to the "locked" position (see illustration below). This will prevent the hinge from snapping closed when the door is removed.
  

• Grasp the door by the sides toward the back. Raise the front of the door several inches (there will be some spring resistance to overcome because of the hinge being locked). When the front of the door is high enough, you will be able to lift the hinges to clear the indents.
  
• Pull the hinges out of the slots in the oven front frame.
  

To Replace the Oven Door

• Grasp the sides of the door at the center and insert the ends of the hinges into the slots in the oven front frame as far as they will go (see illustration below).
  

• With the door open all the way, lower the two locking clips.
  

• Raise the oven door and make sure that it fits evenly with the front sides.
  

DOOR HINGE WARNING:

**CAUTION** With the door off, never release the levers and try to close the hinges. Without the weight of the door, the powerful springs will snap the hinges closed with great force.


Let me know how you make out or if anything is unclear. Thanks for choosing FixYa.

Good Luck,

I told bosch which is the same as siemens that the door hinges are defective. I even told them how to fix the problem without changing the hinges .If you add three washers on each hinge this will bring the door in to close the same for the bosch ranges. ps ex tech:)

I am afraid that the door hinges are non adjustable, and the only solution is to replace them as a pair.
There should be some kind of latch mechanism at the end of the hinge
where it is fastened to the door to compress the hinge to enable you to remove them.
Hope this helps.

All you need to do is replace the oven door hinges. as the springs are weak.
It is a fairly straight forward repair to do.

Thankyou.

Hi. Yes, you will need to replace hinges, and possibly the hinge guides located inside the cookere.

The doors are easy to remove if you know how.!
Where the hinge enters the door itself, there is a little catch which can be turned with a flat screwdriver.
By doing so you prevent the hinge from moving into the door.
Do this on both sides.
Then allow the door to move towards the closed position.
About 3/4 of the way to closing, grasp the door at each side, firmly, and move it from side to side gently.
The hinges will begin to dislodge from the oven frame.
The door will be free to remove and be worked on.
The sealant which holds the glass door to the hinges, needs to be a silicone that is heat resistent.
Silcoset 158 Silicone Adhesive Sealant in a 75ml tube has done the job for me - other brands are available online - but make sure they are heat resistent to 300C
