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.

Scott N Round Rock , TX May 21, 2018 Oven door was not staying shut after heating up Ordered and installed new oven door hinges. Needed specific hinges for the stainless steel door which is heavier. Removed the door from the oven, removed 5 screws holding the door panels together. The oven door hinges were easily extracted from the door. Placing the new hinges and screws took less than 5 minutes. Works great now. The on-line parts diagram at AppliancePartsPros only showed the hinges for the non-stainless model. I initially ordered the wrong hinges which didn't look like the old ones - but a quick call to APP and their technician was able to identify the problem and come up with the correct part number. I would call APP prior to ordering for the next repair job. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
