precisely this, but by a much more laborious and round about route. Hope this
helps.

OMG 2003 this time. I'm wondering who Fred Phase is/was. The cooker is
long dead assuming the OP isn't!

It would be smarter if the website didn't allow you to reply to very old
posts!

This might assist you with posting to a newsgroup, albeit through a website:

summarize the original at the top of the message, or include just
enough text of the original to give a context.

Still useful info regardless of when the original was asked.

Irrelevant to whether the info is still useful to others.

Yes that is presumably what he meant by coming late to this?

I don't mind that the advice is usually for an old problem (this poster
even acknowledges that) because the information might still help me or
someone even if not the original poster.

I do mind that most such posts don't give enough info to know what
problem they are trying to solve, but that's not the case here iether.

However, I've been reading this group for iirc 20 years and I don't
remember Fred Phase or most of the other people they reply to. Does
anyone rememeber Fred Phase?

Scary huh, I think I have wasted 15 years listening to you lot so far ;-)

Looks like he only posted to two threads according to a google groups
search.

Oddly that thread has been resurrected a few times now in 2015 and 2016.

Glad to see your post, thought I am late. Also glad you said "there may be
another far easier way", I take it you mean this is as you assemble the door.
The trouble is, the locked hinge is already at right angle to the door and
cannot be rotated out because is is locked. Mine is a Whirlpool AKP 262/1X but
the concept all sounds the same. When putting the door back with the hinge
locked at right angle, the door will be in close position. The hinge won't
budge because it is locked. May be we are describing different problem or may
be your model is completely different but desperate for any help just in case
what you suggest can work on mine. Thanks.

Some strange instructions there - are people really doing it correctly.
Every oven I have used it is very simple to open the door fully - lock the
hinge by blocking its return - with a rotating disc or similar - lift out
the door. replace and then unblock the return mechanism.

Its also a pity that the stupid web site that some are using to view this
group does not actually allow quoting of the message as well.
