Description

This top hinge supports the hinged top or upper panel, allowing it to lift for service and close securely. Replacing a worn hinge restores smooth motion and proper alignment to help eliminate wobble, scraping, or gaps.

• Provides the pivot point for lifting the top/panel
• Maintains alignment and helps the top seat flat when closed
• Restores smooth opening/closing without binding or rubbing
• Common signs of failure: loose or uneven top, squeaks, difficulty lifting/closing, visible bending or cracks at the hinge

What's included: One top hinge Install notes:

• Disconnect power; also shut off gas and allow all surfaces to cool
• Support the top/panel while removing and installing the hinge to prevent strain
• Transfer and tighten existing mounting screws unless new hardware is provided
• After installation, check alignment and clearances; replacing hinges in pairs can improve fit
