This upper oven door hinge is a position-specific hinge that supports and controls a side-swing door's movement, helping it open smoothly and seal firmly. Replacing a worn hinge restores proper alignment, closure, and heat retention.

  • Provides the pivot and spring action at the door's upper mounting point
  • Maintains door alignment for proper gasket contact and heat seal
  • Typical symptoms of a failing hinge: door won't close fully, sags, binds/rubs, or pops open
  • A poor seal from a worn hinge can lead to heat loss and uneven baking
What's included: One upper oven door hinge assembly. Install notes:
  • Disconnect power and allow the oven to cool completely before service
  • Support the door; many models require removing the door to access the hinge
  • Install at the factory mounting points and ensure the hinge fully engages the receiver
  • After replacement, check door alignment and that the seal contacts evenly

Allen, The hinge 74001984 is for the upper hinge and the 74001856 is the lower door hinge. These door hinges are for models that have a serial number that starts with 12 or higher. If the serial number starts with 10 or 11 then the door hinges have been discontinued with no replacement. The upper hinge for the 10 and 11 hinge is part number 12500043 and the lower hinge 12500042.
