Jackie We removed the door on our GE range and the springs fell off. Now we have put them back on, but the door is too tight in the fully open position (won't lie flat) and too loose in the STOP position (wants to fall open). Since the springs fell off, we don't know which position on the bar or which position on the aluminum "interface" to use. How can we tell what to do?
Answer Jackie, First check the rollers and arms of the hinge assembly for excess wear and tear, worn out roller screws and bearings, etc. Then check to see that the bottom of the door isn't "dragging" or rubbing on the oven cavity opening, or door gasket. If all's OK, when you install the spring to the frame, the farther away from the front frame the more tension on the spring and door is applied. On the hinge arm "interface" the "middle" opening is usually enough tension to operate the door and hinges properly. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, July 14, 2017
