Door Hinge Assemblies

The door hinge comes as a complete assembly.
The hinges are marked either as left (L) or right
(R) hinge. For the hinges to operate properly, the
hinge arms must be perpendicular to the front
frame and parallel to each other.

Door Hinge Replacement

1. Remove the door. Refer to Lift-Off Oven Door .
2. Remove 3 screws from the bottom door frame.
3. Remove 2 screws from each side of the door
and separate the door liner and the outer glass
assembly.
4. Remove 3 screws from the door liner to remove
each door hinge assembly.
Note: When assembling, make sure the hinge
arms are parallel to each other and perpendicular
to the front frame. If not, the hinge may bind on the
receiving channel of the door.
Note: If the new hinge is not in the cocked and
locked position after installing, place the bottom of
the door against a firm surface and push the hinge
arm down to the cocked position. Pull the hinge
lock back against the door liner surface to lock the
hinge in this position.

Component Compartment Airflow

The component compartment contains a fan
located on the rear wall of the compartment. Fan
blades pull air in from the back of the unit and
circulate it in the compartment area to cool the
components. The air is then exhausted through
the louvers below the control panel.
