How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6011189 / WP74010283 Oven Door Hinge

Bought and installed new hinges. Repair took about an hour but I also cleaned all the glass inside and out on both oven doors. I had ordered extra screws as I read the old ones that hold the hinges were hard to get in as they were self taping but the screw labeled 5 next to the hinge were not the right ones. All old screws worked fine. You just need to put a little power to them to get them started. Easy repair. 

It was easy to find info on the problem, just did a quick search. The original hinges get weak and won't close the door. It seems this is a common problem with this make and model. I found the Appliancepartspros site through my search. I used the 1-800 number as I needed more info than was available on the order page. The parts arrived within a few days. It was easy to take the door off the oven, another search was required for that one. Once the door is off, it's a simple job to remove the hinges. It's rather easy. The new ones are part of a kit that overcomes the weak original hinges. Now the door closed fully, and the oven is much more efficient. The wife is happier too! 

I replaced the hinges and the locking mechanism. I was told by an appliance repair shop that I would have to buy a new oven. Forget that! I fixed it myself! Thank you appliance parts pros!! 

Ordered Parts from Appliance Parts Pro. Great experience! Found parts on web, Placed order, parts were delivered quickly, well packaged. Easy 15-20 installation and Good to use again!! 

Replaced the hinges. Project would have been easy but no replacement self tapping mounting screws were furnished with the new hinge assemblies forcing me to use the old ones. The old screws must have been a little dull because I had use vice grips on the screw heads to get them in. If the phillips screw heads just were not capable of the required torque. 

After doing some on-line research, I found it was not complicated to replace the hinge mechanism. I decided to replace both hinges rather than just replacing the one side that had failed. 

I replaced the gasket and ordered the other parts for the door that the hinges attach to in the frame of the oven. The person I spoke with told me I should always replace this part when I replace the hinges. I had replaced the hinges about 3 years ago but did not replace the additional parts. His advice was extremely helpful and solved my issue. Also, I am very pleased with the order fulfillment. I got my parts quickly and I was back to baking. Thanks again for your help and availability of parts. 

Juan patiently talked me through the process of securing the correct model # data. Next, he assured me that the correct hinges were available and set up an easy to use the link to facilitate my order. I am nearly blind so, when informed, Juan put extra effort into helping me. Thank you, Juan 

Replaced hinges and hinge receivers. One tip besides watching the video, I put a small wooden block under the open door to lift it so I wasn’t fighting gravity. Lets the hinges align much more easily. While door was apart took advantage and cleaned door glass. Worth it! 

Replaced parts, it was trivial.
