Whirlpool 12400043 Hinge Kit W/Screw OEM Part

The repair itself was straight forward as others have said. Remove back panel, raise stove top to access srews, then remove side panels ( outer and inner ). Voila the hinges are right there. Then reverse Complete job with cleaning took 1 1/2 hours Very satisfied with parts (exact match). Thank you Appliance parts pros.

I had to take the back off the stove, then the top off, next the 2 sides and finally was able to get at the hinges. Not a hard job, just like taking a puzzle apart and putting it back together! Total repair time about 1 hour!

The total repair took about 35 mins. Because I chose to pre tap the screw holes 15 mins of that time was finding the right tap and tapping the holes. Other than that if you have even the smallest amount of mechanical ability it just a matter of removing and replacing screws.

Spent.most of the time cleaning as I took it apart. It is harder to get it back together than apart. The back plate does have to come off in order to remove the side panels. The top must come off also. After the three back screws for the panel there are two screws on the top. One in the middle and one shared with the head piece. The inside sheet metal cover was unexpected but only one back panel screw held it. Sliding and flexing gets the sheet metal cover off. Then hinge access is easy. After reassembly was very happy with how the top fit with the glass top. But it works well and is an aesthetic thing not a functional thing.

Got the part number by oven model and ordered from appliancepartspros, they shipped in two days. Removed oven door, took out the oven carefully, removed back pannel and side pannel, and one additional side pannel for insulation as well, then the damaged parts shows up. Replaced the new parts is pretty simple, only one thing is that two holes for the screw on the new part didn't processed by the manufacture, I spent some time screwing back in. The restore oven back is simple. The part is totally matched with the original one and works perfectly. Just be carefully do not damage any gas pipeline when you pulling out and pushing in the oven and don't damage any electricity wires when remove and install one side pannel. Thanks for appliancepartspros with great service and parts.
