Robert December 10, 2019 for Model Number GMC275PDB4 I replaced my door hinges with part 4455524 but the new spring is lighter and now to open the door I have to lift it to open. Is this normal?
1 Answer Hello Robert, This is not normal and you have either received defective new parts or they have not been installed correctly. I would recommend you call us at 1-877-477-7278 and request the representative replace the parts under our parts warranty. Be sure to have the model and serial numbers of the appliance when you call to save time. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
George Y. March 20, 2017 for Model Number GMC275PD2 I have to replace the hinges on my oven every year or so. To date I have spent more on hinges than I did for my oven. I have settled on ordering the part with the heavier spring, 4455525, even though it is not the part specified for my black oven. Once I replaced the hinge with the hinge specified (4455522) with the lighter spring and it lasted two weeks. I have looked locally for replacement springs that would fit without success. Is there a solution to this obvious design flaw other than to send you nice folks money on a regular basis. I notice other folks have the same complaint.
1 Answer Hello George, I'm sorry for your trouble, expense, and dis-satisfaction. This is a design issue and complaints should be addressed to the manufacturer of the appliance. All we can do is provide replacement parts to correct the failures experienced with the manufacturers' designs. As far as replacing the hinges with the heavier duty ones, we cannot recommend this since it will cause the door to try to close while you may be trying to remove a hot dish from the unit which could actually become a safety issue. These heavier springs are designed to be installed on units with heavier doors. While you can purchase and install whatever parts you desire on your own unit, safety should always be considered.

Richard September 18, 2016 for Model Number KEBI101DWH7 Hello. Is the hinge replacement for a single hinge or a pair? thanks
Sherman C February 06, 2016 for Model Number KEMS307GBSO We have a stainless steel door on our oven and the repair people use part #4455524. These hinges last about a year and then give out. Is there a different hinge used for this heavier door since the referenced part number is used on white and black models? Thank you.
1 Answer Sherman, The part number for the oven door hinge on your stainless model would be WP4455525. Read More...
Norm E. March 24, 2013 for Model Number GMC305PDB1 How do you remove the oven door to replace the inner door glass?
1 Answer Norm, to change the glass in an oven door, you will need to determine how to remove the door on the model number you are working on. If you open the door to the first stopping point, some oven doors will lift off the unit in this position. On other models, you will see clips on the back of the hinge toward the opening where the hinge enters the range. If yours is like this, you will open the door all the way open, then pull the clips down until they stop and lock in place. Then close the door to the stopping point and lift the door off the range. If your door does not lift off, and it does not have the clips, then you will open the door all the way open. You will see a hole in the hinge at the bottom of the door. You will insert a pin or nail into that hole and close the door to the stopping point. Then you can lift the door off the unit. Once the door is removed, you will lay it on a soft surface and disassemble the door. Pay attention and make notes if needed for reassembly of the oven door. Once you have replaced the door glass, you will reinstall the oven door back onto the range in reverse order of the way you removed it. Hope this helps you. Read More...
