Most downward opening doors seem to use the same system whereby you release a couple of "safety-catches" by flipping a small pivoting piece of metal backwards, part open the door and then lift the bottom edge of the door. With a bit of a shoogle and a pull it should come out.

Are these your hinges? https://parts.hotpoint.co.uk/product...44027?n=SN5000

thanks Tim, those are the right hinges, but so expensive. I can get a whole new fan oven with timer for less than double that. One hinge has broken and the bottom bit sheared off. I flipped the safety clip off as suggested by others it but the door still won't come loose.


Mine were nothing like that price. Just over a tenner each IIRC.
