Samsung DE81-05658A Svc-Hinge Receptacle Kit OEM Part

Removing the oven door is described in detail on many online sources. It involves opening the installed door, depressing it slightly more and engaging clips on both sides that hold the moving hinge parts stationary. This enables the door to be partially closed and by lifting removed from the oven. The back section of the door can be taken off by removing a few screws giving access to the hinges. The trick to the hinge replacement is how to decompress the hinge spring that is held in position by the clips that were engaged to remove the door. Due to the weight of the door the springs are very strong. A web search revealed the most common method was by pushing down on the long exposed arm of the spring that goes into the oven body and releasing the clip that was previously engaged. This takes gloved hands and a lot of force by a stronger person than me. Some people used screwdriver to level the spring, good luck with that. Now for the trick. Place the bottom of the door on a protective surface such as an old throw rug with the inside of the door facing up at about a 45 degree angle. Place the sole of your foot on the long arm of the hinge and push the top of the door toward the floor. This mimics the actions used to compress the hinge spring and engage the locking hinge used to remove the door from the oven. As you press down the spring is compressed and the locking tab can be disengaged. Once this is done release the pressure on the long arm and the two hinge arms are now in a position that enables the hinge to be lifted out after the two screws affixing the hinge body to the bottom of the door are removed. Reverse the procedure to recompress the spring and engage the lock hinge to be able to install the door. I suggest that you replace the hinge receptacle at the same time the highs are replaced. This is an easy procedure that only requires the oven be pulled out of the cabinet by about 6 inches. Be sure to do this before the door is reinstalled. The power should also be turned off but the power cable does not need to be disconnected.
