In case anyone else gets into the same pickle, this is how to fix it... 1) Grip hinge assembly in a vice between the big spring and the arm that holds it, but not across the arm as this will deform it. This should rest on a ledge on the arm alllowing downward force. 2) Apply a flat-blade screwdriver to the ping at the end of the spring loaded lock. Press the pin to relieve the pressure on the hinge. 3) Pull the hinge out, or prise it from the back until it starts to move. 4) Extend the hinge as far out as you can. Hope that helps someone out there :-) Thank you so,so much for this post. Have been searching the internet for solutions after the oven door hinges locked when pulling out the door and gladly have found your instructions. Unlocked hinges and door back on the oven,ever so happy! To to say once you know what to do how easy it's. I'm a woman with no DIY skills,just wanted to clean between glass on my oven door. Next time I'll know to push the latch as far back as possible before pulling door out,so the hinge won't lock up again. -- |
