• Provides the hinge's pivot point the door swings on
• Helps maintain door alignment for smooth opening and closing
• Common symptoms: loose or sagging door, binding, difficulty latching, excessive play at the hinge
• Visual clues: worn/flattened pin surfaces or a missing pin at the hinge location

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) and allow the appliance to cool completely before service
• Support the door to prevent strain on the remaining hinge while you work
• Note hinge orientation, remove any retaining clip/screw, slide out the old pin, and seat the new pin fully
• Inspect related hinge bushings or washers while open and replace if worn

This retaining ring secures a component in its groove on a shaft or housing, keeping parts aligned and in place during operation. Replace a bent, stretched, or missing ring to restore a tight hold and reduce movement or noise.

• Secures a component by seating in a groove on a shaft or inside a bore
• Maintains correct axial position so parts don't slide off during use
• Helps reduce wobble, vibration, or rattling caused by loose assemblies
• Typical symptoms: part won't stay seated, excess play or movement, scraping/rattling noises, or a visibly deformed ring

• Disconnect power; shut off water or gas if applicable. Wear eye protection and gloves
• Note ring orientation; use appropriate snap-ring/circlip pliers or picks—avoid overstretching
• Clean the groove and seat the ring fully; secure fit
• Replace any damaged spacers, washers, or seals found during service

This anchor spring maintains tension on the parts it secures, keeping the associated component aligned and stable during use. Replacing a fatigued or broken spring restores a snug fit and reliable, rattle-free operation.

• Provides spring tension to anchor a bracket, lever, or panel in place
• Helps prevent looseness, vibration, and rattling from lost spring force
• Failure signs can include a loose/shifting component, misalignment, difficulty holding position, or abnormal noise
• Replace if the spring is broken, stretched, corroded, or missing

• Disconnect appliance power; if gas is present, also shut off the gas supply
• Access the spring per your model and note its routing/attachment points before removal (a quick photo helps)
• Use needle-nose pliers or a spring hook; wear gloves and eye protection—springs are under tension
• Ensure both ends are fully seated and the connected mechanism moves/tensions correctly before reassembly
