Customer Questions and Answers for Oven Door Hinge (Top/Bottom) by Bosch

Restore smooth, controlled door movement and a tight oven seal with this door hinge. Replacing a worn hinge helps the door close fully, prevents heat loss, and brings back the original opening tension on top or bottom compartments.

• Controls door swing and spring tension for smooth opening/closing
• Maintains alignment so the door gasket seals evenly
• Helps the door stay closed during cooking and hold at designed positions
• Common symptoms: door won't close fully, drops/sags, uneven gap, squeaks/binds, or heat escaping

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool completely
• Remove the door; support it to safely relieve hinge spring tension
• Note hinge orientation and attachment points; transfer and secure the hinge using existing mounting locations
• After reassembly, verify latch engagement and even gasket contact; many ovens use two hinges—replace in pairs if both show wear
