How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6019075 / WPW10299227 Door Hinge (Passive)

Purchased replacement parts. Began taking oven door apart to get at the hinges. Unfortunately the door is held together with magic. Once you remove a few of the screws everything just falls apart. It seems that pressure and the very tight tolerances make the door very sturdy but once you start removing pieces the integrity of the door just goes away. Putting it back together was very challenging. But my wife and I were able to get it accomplished. Not an easy task to say the least. 

I ordered the new hinges and replaced them. Videos I watched were very helpful in making that happen. Like other threads I read, I found the screws in the door hold many things together and putting them all back together was a bit of a challenge but eventually was successful. If I had to do it again, I would try to replace one side and not take all the screws out of the door and then move to the other side. When I re-watched the video, that person was able to do that. I also took off the door handle screws which were not necessary to remove in the end. Other than that the install was great and now I know how the oven door is suppose to act like. Very smooth with no clunk noise. 

Removed door from range, disassembled to access broken hinge, replaced with new hinge, reassembled the door, reattached to range. 

I ordered replacement hinges (2) one for r and one for l . My boys took door off and repaired it. It took a bit to get hinge to fit properly but they did it. Should have taken a picture to know how to put back together (many screws) but they got it fixed and it is good now. 

The fix involved removing the oven door, taking the door apart, removing the old hinges, screwing the new hinges into place, and putting the door back together. The hardest part of the repair was just getting the door back together correctly. Replacing the hinges was easy.
