Miele Door Hinge Spring Failure

Oven door slams shut or does not stay open at intermediate positions.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Broken or weakened hinge springs, Incorrect hinge type fitted, Damaged hinge arms

Safety first: Work with the oven cool; the door is heavy and can cause injury.

Test hinge action: Open the door slowly. If it drops freely or will not hold at a partially open angle, the hinges are worn.
Remove door: Engage hinge locks (if present) and lift the door off according to the Miele manual.
Replace hinges: Install new genuine Miele hinges on both sides. Do not mix old and new hinges.
Reinstall and test: Refit the door and check that it moves smoothly and stays in position.
