Doors

The serviceable parts of the QuietClose™door include the handle,

with one dampen hinge and one spring hinge), middle glass, 2-pane
glass pack, porcelain-coated door liner, and the various fasteners.

NOTICE
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: REASSEMBLING DOOR AFTER SERVICING
 Be sure insulation is tucked in close to the glass pack. Insulation
should not block the hinge foot openings or be visible through the
openings in the door liner after reassembly.
 To avoid stripping the door liner screws or chipping the porcelain,
set a low torque setting when using a drill/driver.
 When reinserting the screws which secure the door liner to the
rest of the door assembly, apply pressure to the liner to
compress the insulation inside the door while inserting the center
screw in the bottom edge of the liner first. Continue pressing on
the liner while reinserting the remaining bottom screws. Lastly,
reinsert the (4) screws/o-rings into the face of the door liner.

7.1.1 Addition of Flat Springs to Door Assembly

Ranges with an FD 9502 and later include a flat spring on each side of the
inner door, between the middle glass bracket and the inner door frame. The
pressure of the flat springs against the brackets prevents the glass from
moving and rattling.
To resolve a report of rattling sounds in the door of a range with an FD prior
to 9502, order Flat Spring Service Kit 00635045. Instructions are included in
the kit, and can also be found in QuickFinder, linked to part number
00635045.
7.1.2
 CAUTION
Avoid injury when removing and replacing oven doors.
 Be sure range is cool enough for handling.
 Position hinges properly (see Figure 4).
 Grasp door only by sides, not by the handle.
 Do not force door open or closed.
 Handle with care–the door weighs approximately 40 lb.
To remove the door...
1. Open door completely.
2. Flip right and left hinge levers back to open, as shown below;
be sure the levers are in the fully open position. (The RH and
LH hinges differ slightly, but operate in the same manner.)
