Bosch 00487746 Door Hinge OEM Part

Replaced door hinge after watching the process on utube. when real smooth.

After seven years of looking at my oven and thinking I should really see if new hinges would fix the issue. I went online searched for "Thermador oven door hinge" and up came Appliance Parts Pro. com and after about three minutes of looking at two different hinges I found the correct hinge for my oven. Shipping was quick and within 30 minutes I can changed out all four hinges. Now the oven operates better because the doors close tight. AND! The oven light isn't on 24/7

I needed part #00414511 or AP2831942 for my Thermador SCD272ZS-01 double in wall oven. Those parts are discontinued by the manufacturer. Someone on Craigs List was selling them for $209.00 a piece. After looking around on your web site I compared the specs and picture of the hinge I bought which was part # 00487746 (AP3196146). It looked identical. So I took a chance. If it is not identical to the part I needed, it is at least functionally identical. It works perfectly. The oven door now shuts properly and the light goes off as it should.

I replaced both door hinges. It took about 30 minutes to remove the old hinges, clean the glass between the door panels and re-assemble the doorr. The door now closes properly providing a good heat seal and properly activating the door switch to turn off the oven light. I had to use a piece of PVC pipe to lever the new hinge into position to secure the latch that allows the door to be re-installed in the oven.

I replaced all the hinges that I ordered from appliance parts pros for both doors for My Thermodor electric double oven and now the doors work great, I had to do a search on the internet to see how to release the springs on the hinges so they can be removed. once I knew how to release them the job went quick and easy.
