How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6009477 / WP4455523 Oven Door Hinge

The longest part of the repair was figuring out where the door closer pins went and what their purpose was. Once I looked more closely at the replacement part tho, it was obvious. After sliding them in place the oven door did indeed just lift off when it was almost closed. Also the hinges are in the door. At first it was hard to tell if they were in the main part of the oven or the door. You only need to remove the door for this repair. 

Done and more. As a DIY guy you you always suspect a challenge on any project. Although the Oven Manual noted a hole in the hinges to pull out the doors, on the door itself there was NO Hold. Another customer had the same problem. One of your experts in the customer notes gave the work-a-around. While I had the doors disassembled, I cleaned all 3 glass pieces per door. Wife was WOWed that she can see clearly through the doors. 

Fast fix once you done one, but these are the weakest part of most ovens. So you will get practice. 

Replaced hinges on the lower oven. Replace outer glass in the top door.
