How to replace Hinge Assembly. Replaced both hinges since you know what happens if you just do one. There was a screw on each side of the door that attached the door to the hinge. Remove them and lifted the door off the hinges. Removed the back plate and the screws holding on the side panels. Removed the 3 screws attaching the front of the range top to the front of the oven and lifted it up to access two more screws attaching the side covers to the top of the range. Removed the side covers and then there was a single screw on the back holding the interior shields in place. Removed the interior shields which exposed the insulation and the hinge assemblies. Replaced the hinges and put everything back together. The interior shields were a pain to get back in - you really have to work at it since they slide behind electrical connections in the front and fit behind a support on the bottom. It too longer than it could have since I cleaned as I went and needed to adjust one of the burner assemblies. When the new hinges were attached to the range the holes have a different thread so they don't go in easily. I wound up using a 5/16 nut driver to get the extra torque. 2 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes
