How to Fix a Broken Oven Door Hinge (Remove Door + Replace Hinges Safely)

Описание: In this video on Work Play Have Fun, I fix an oven door that suddenly started dropping under its own weight after a loud bang — the cause was a failed door hinge spring/pin.

I remove the oven door safely, strip it down enough to inspect the hinges, identify the exact replacement part using the oven’s E-NR/model label, order the correct hinges, and then fit the new hinges when they arrive. I also show how to reassemble the door so the oven stays usable while waiting for parts.

🛠 What’s covered in this video:
• Safety first: removing the oven door and avoiding pinch points
• Using the user manual / guide to remove your specific door
• Stripping the door and removing the bottom rail to access hinges
• Identifying the failure (spring/pin snapped) and why replacing both hinges is sensible
• Finding the correct model number (E-NR) and ordering the right parts
• Installing new hinges + small tip about rubber bungs/holes
• Re-fitting the door and final checks (balanced door, smooth close, good seal)

💬 Question:
If your oven door is dropping — is it one hinge that failed, or does it make sense to replace both at the same time?
