Paul W Lafayette , LA December 27, 2014 Hinges were worn and oven door did not close completely which made the light stay on I ordered the hinges and took the door off the oven. No tools are required for removal of oven door. Upon removal there are a total of 8 screws to remove to separate the oven door. This allows you to simply remove the old springs on each side of the door. The toughest part is putting enough tension to refine the new springs on the door. This is the second time I have had to replace in 3 years. Thermador oven door is too heavy for the springs to no stretch over time.

David L Granger , IN May 31, 2014 Appliance: Thermador Wall Oven SMW272B Door hinges were weak and not closing all the way oven is 13 years old Ordered the hinges and took the door apart. There are videos on line for other ovens so it wasn't very hard. Only trick is getting the hinges from a right 90 degree angle to a flat angle so you can get the door back on the oven. You have to open the hinge with your hands. The key is mounting it on the door first then taking a towel or some gloves on your hand and just press hard. You may need a 2nd person to hold the door steady. The hinges fit great, door is sealing tight and it was under $65 bucks. Read More...
