Café Worn Oven Door Hinges / Springs

Oven door will not stay open at a partial position, slams shut or falls open

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

Weak hinge springs, worn hinge mechanism, damaged hinge receivers

Safety first: Work on the door only when the oven is cool. The door is heavy; support it properly.

Test hinge tension: Open the door to various positions. If it will not hold and moves freely, the hinges are worn.
Remove door: Remove the door according to Café instructions (usually open to a specific angle and lift off).
Inspect hinges and receivers: Check for cracks or deformation.
Replace hinges: Replace both oven door hinges and, if damaged, the hinge receivers.
