Oven Door Hinge

Oven Door Hinge

Rick from WI

We have a Jenn Air 30" downdraft range where one of the oven door hinges had sprung to some extent and would not allow the oven door to close completely on one upper corner. This resulted in a lot of smoke and grease escaping from the oven at times.

Screwdriver.

I kind of dreaded tackling this project... hence the late response to this review. However last Saturday morning I decided to go for it. At first when pulling the bottom panel off the range I thought I could possible replace these hinges without pulling the slide-in range out from the cabinets. You can't do that. I disconnected the downdraft connection (fan to outlet) and made sure there was ample gas and electrical line to slide to range out a bit, laid down a piece of old plexiglass I had and the range slid right out (easily) about 10". This was plenty to get the hinges out and reinstalled after removing the 3.5" metal trim on each side of the range (4 screws total). Installed the new hinges, replaced the trim panels, slid the range back in place and reconnected the exhaust pipe. This part was relatively easy. The more involved task included taking the entire oven door apart to clean all layers of glass (there are 4 layers in this oven). That was a bit more involved, but once complete it's all back together and looks and works great!!

Disconnect vent hose, shut off power, open door slightly until it catches, approx. 3". Pull door straight up to remove. Remove side panel and front cross panel. Remove remaining screw holding spring latch. Reverse this order.

Jenn Air oven door spring assembly broke.

Screwdrivers and a hex nut driver.

Could not find a model or serial number Slid “slide-in range” out (mistake) Called for help to find model number Information is on right side after removing front bottom panel Online, found spring unit for this model and instructions Put stove back into place, but re-connecting vent tubing/hose was a nightmare (lots of time) Ordered two spring units (R/L are identical) When parts arrived, pulled door up and off hinges Removed broken unit without moving stove Replaced spring unit Slid door back onto hinge units.
