These are tricky, first remove all burners trivets knobs etc so there is nothing at all left on the glass top then you will need two small screwdrivers gently using them like tyre levers work around the edge and it will usually just lift off, when replacing it make sure that everything is lined up properly.
1. Remove the pan drawer 2. With someone holding glass up, remove the four screws at the bottom of the door that hold the glass front to the door frame. Gently lower the panel about two inches until the side guides are below the door trim cap. Place out of the way so it doesn't fall over etc. 3. Keeping the door closed, use a spring puller to remove each spring from the hinge. (I made one out of a hanger and a screwdriver. Double thickness at the hook, wrapped and secured around the screwdriver to make a handle) If you do things this way be VERY careful. Be sure it is really strong and is not going to slip. The springs are really under tension and will shrink down about an inch from where they are hooked. (Be sure to support the door so it does not fall open when the springs are removed. It will just make things worse.) 4. After the springs are off gently open the door all of the way. 5. Pull down the hinge locks from the oven body and lift the base of the door up. This will lift the door hinges off of the mounts in the oven frame and allow you to pull the door away from the body. 6. Place the door on your box or workbench etc 7. Remove the two screws on each side of the door that hold the hinges in place. Remove the hinges.
Reinstallation is in reverse.
Hinge repair. By placing the lower part of the hinge (by the axle) against a ruler I was able to see that the upper section was bent out on each hinge. To correct it I placed the hinge over a pair of 4x4 blocks so that it curved up in the center, and hit it a few times with a hammer. The metal was very responsive and quickly bent back into shape. Be careful here as you don't want to bend them too far. I actually went a little past true, wanting to get a little more push at the top of the door. I placed the hinges directly on the oven to see the difference and they looked good (Be sure to put a piece of cardboard or rag between them and the top to keep them from scratching the surface.
Put the hinges back in the door, screw it together and hang it back on the stove, replace the springs and the glass, and check your fit. Good luck.
Hello would you happen to have a model number or any serial number on your LEISURE COOKMASTER 101 I will be trying to obtain your specific manual and not provide one that is generalized and these numbers help to locate your exact unit. Thank you I await your reply Rick
Normally there is a clip on both door hinges to allow easy door removal.
Once door is removed place on a towel on a flat surface. You will find a couple of screws on the top of the door and possibly underneath. Unscrew these and the two halves of the door should come appart. The inner glass is held in place with high temperatute oven sealant. You will need to thoroughly scrape the old sealant from inside inner door and on glass.
Apply sealant bead to inner door (but not too close to the edge) and then gently lower the cleaned glass on to the sealant. Press down gently. Now the sealant must have 24hrs to completely set so place a towel over the glass and place some heavy objects on the towel. House bricks are good if you have any.
Once dry you can then screw both door panels together and refit oven door.
Inner or outer? you will have to take the door off, done by lowering door to full open postion and youll see a fold down flap at hinge, fold down and close door and lift. this will allow you to access screws easier. remove handle and four bottom screws. that will allow you to take off outer glass....there will be screws on inside to take out inner glass.
