Customer Questions and Answers for Oven Door Hinge by Whirlpool

The Oven Door Hinge is an OEM part for Whirlpool wall ovens and ranges. Located on both sides of the oven door frame, these metal hinges provide the pivoting connection that allows smooth opening and closing of the door during cooking cycles.

Causes of failure can include wear of the hinge joints from repeatedly bearing the weight of the heavy oven door over thousands of uses. Exposure to high heat during cooking may gradually deteriorate lubricating grease or materials.

Symptoms of faulty hinges include:

• Door rubbing or sticking during opening/closing
• Off-center alignment when shut or inability to fully latch
• Noisy squeaking or grinding emerging from hinges
• Hinges loosened from screws/fastenings or mechanisms seized

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
