Jonathan R Saint Cloud , FL October 27, 2015 Appliance: Whirlpool 30" Built-In Electric Oven Self Clean Thermal Convecti IBS550PWW00 Hinges were broken could not remove oven door The little flip-over locks on my oven door hinges were bent and broken, preventing me from removing the oven door. It took a little bit of searching to determine that my oven purchased from Ikea was actually built by Whirlpool, and finally what were the correct part numbers for both hinges. Much to the credit of AppliancePartsPros.com, they were the only site that specifically labeled these hinges as Left and Right which helped greatly - even the parts diagrams from Whirlpool were not specific in showing that these were different for each side. I had to use two spare bolts as wedges to hold open the broken hinges so I could finally remove the oven door (my original task was to tighten and repair the bracket holding on the front glass and clean the inside of the glass of something that had dripped down inside the door). I was able to disassemble/reassemble the door and replace both hinges with nothing more than a #2 Phillips screwdriver. Now everything looks and works just like new.

Bernard D Glen Allen , VA July 21, 2018 Door would not close all the way so the interior light stayed on I replaced the hinges in the door with the parts I bought here. Was a quick fix, took me about 15-20 minutes. Watched the video. All you need to do is carefully remove all of the black screws on the interior and sides of the door and the face lifts off exposing the hinges. Just pull out the old hinges and place in the new ones in the same spot and then put the screws back in to reassemble the door. You will need to compress the door to get the screws to reach because they are just long enough. But just take your time, don't over tighten the screws, and it will go back together.

Anthony W Downers Grove , IL December 18, 2017 Appliance: KitchenAid 30" Built-In Electric Double Oven Thermal Convection Self-Clean KEBC206KSS04 Door slightly open and light stays on Replaced hinges, since they seemed weak in comparison to top oven, but didn’t resolve the problem. Turns out the issue was that the door had been hyperextended due to someone using it as a step or shelf. The hinge receivers in the frame, which require significantly more disassbly to get to, but still doable, had been bent slightly out of shape. Just a little bend in the hinge receiver is amplified at the top of the door by the springs in the hinges not having enough strength to close the door tightly, since it is beyond it’s normal limit. If in the fully open position your door opens beyond 90 degrees this is the culprit. After removing the hinge receivers I bent them back into their proper shape using a vise and some channel locks. Reassembled and everything works perfectly now. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 2+ hours Tools: Screwdrivers
