Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Hinge Receptacle (Oven Door) (Part Number: OEM18033084)

1 Answer

Cindy, Yes, You will need to "force the hinge down" and lock the hinge into position to install it into the hinge receptacle. You may find it easier to place the door face down on a padded surface on a table. Use a block of wood or plastic to force the hinge arm down until you can slide the lock mechanism up and over the lock tab on the bottom of the hinge arm, then install the door assembly into the receptacle and unlock the hinge arm. Thanks,

Hello James, You will need to order two WP74008015 for the model provided. To change the receivers you will need to pull the unit out far enough to access the receivers from the sides. Some units will have a panel that will have to be removed to access them. Others will be visible when the unit is pulled out. Two screws are removed from the front frame panel to remove them. Installation is in the reverse order. I'm sorry but we could not locate a video or any written instructions from the manufacturer on the changeout procedure for these parts. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.
