Hi phil.....
Strong springs attach to oven door hinges and put enough pressure on the
closed door to prevent it from allowing any heat loss. The oven cannot
maintain a steady temperature once a hinge spring loses the necessary
tension. The spring may be inside the oven door hinge itself or in the
side panel of the oven cabinet. Springs and other appliance parts are
sold by appliance dealers, appliance repair centers and appliance
manufacturers' websites.
Tips & Warnings
this task is moderately challenging but with some mechanical aptitude you can easily do it.
Thanks......
Tools and Materials Needed
Step 1 - Removing the Door
The first thing that you will need to do is remove the door from your cooker. If the oven is inside a cabinet then this might first need to be pulled out so that you can access the door. Most doors will simply lift off the oven when it's opened slightly. However there are some doors which have a small retaining lever which first needs to be pressed down in order to release the door so that it can be lifted off. Once the door is removed you should set it aside safely so that it is somewhere out of the way.
Step 2 - Dismantling the Door
If your door hinge is broken or damaged then the door will need to be dismantled so that you can access the hinge itself. This will take some time to do right but is worth doing properly. Remember where all the components go so that you can assemble the door properly again when required.
On some cookers you won't need to dismantle the door to access the springs. On a range cooker for example you should be able to access the springs by opening access panels inside the walls of the oven. If you're working on a built in cooker then you might need to remove it from your cabinet to access the springs.
Step 3 - Replacing the Springs
The hinges can now be replaced on the doors. Make sure that you replace both hinges even if only one has gone. This is a lot of work to dismantle the door and adding an extra hinge won't break the bank. There is also a good chance that this hinge is wearing out already which is why you should consider replacing it at the same time.
Step 4 - Don't Struggle in Silence
This is a very difficult project for any amateur to undertake if you've never had any experience before. If you do find it difficult then consider hiring a professional to help you.
Follow these steps :
•1
Open the oven door and grasp the sides with one hand on each side. Lift the door up to remove it from the hinges. Set the door out of the way.
•2
Remove the range top by unscrewing the attaching bolt on the front door flange with a socket wrench. The screws are located in the upper corners, where the door closes.
•3
Slide the top of the range forward about 6 inches from the control panel. Locate the wiring harness from the range top to the control panel. Disconnect it by pushing in on the plastic tab and pulling it apart. Grasp the top panel with both hands and lift it from the stove. Set it aside in a safe place.
•4
Remove the screws on the rear edge of each side panel that connects the side to the rear of the stove. Also remove the screw on each end cap of the control with a screwdriver. Lift the side panel up, removing it from the key hole tabs on the front, and set to the side.
•5
Remove the two hex head screws that attach the hinge to the front of the oven using a socket wrench. They are located above and below the hinge.
•6
Install the new hinges by attaching them with the hex head screws.
•7
Line up the side panel with the front panel key hole and set it in place. Attach the side panel to the rear of the stove with the attaching screws and reattach the console ends with a single screw on each side.
•8
Place the top panel back on the oven. Connect the control panel wires to the range top by pushing the connector back together. Slide the top panel back into position.
•9
Secure the top panel by reattaching the screws under the front flange. Open the ends of the hinges with your finger at about a 45 degree angle. Set the door in the hinges and close the door.
•10
Reconnect the power to the range and slide the range back into its position.

Both springs on my tgo 90 gas oven door have snapped, I can not see how to get to the springs to replace, but I have not as yet pulled the oven out of the housing. Presumeably you remove the oven side panel (outer) for access to the spring as it seems nigh on impossible to remove the inner panel.
With both springs broken I can remove the glass door with hinges and push back in place to close back up again. I have ordered 2 new springs and am awaiting delivery

Hi, I have a new world TGO 90 gas oven, model no; 200504023. The hinges fit on the door similar to your tutorial, but the return springs appear to be located in the side of the oven housing, how do I access these as both of mine have snapped. Presumeably I pull the oven forward and out of the housing
The door pulls straight out now, the springs are located in the oven sides and fixed to the end of the hinge, not in the door system, do I access the springs through the outer side of the oven and if so do you have to remove the whole of the side panel or through an access plate. Looking at your video, the door springs shown are nothing like my system
Its a Gas oven door, the spring is housed in the oven side, my springs have snapped, but they worked like this, when you opened the oven door the springs are put into tension as the hinge pulls out. The hinge is pinned to the door and the door just pivots. So to get to the springs in the oven chasis, do I pull the built in oven out of its housing and take off the side cover to gain access or are there access panels which would allow me to change the springs. The oven is a NewWorld TGO 90 model number 200504023

I have a TGO 90 Gas Oven by newworld model no:200504023, the springs to the oven door have gone (snapped) the hinges are not complete with spring as shown on youtube tutorials. The springs appear to be fixed in the oven sides, I have ordered 2 new springs from espares and am awaiting delivery. The hinges to the door are fixed by a pin and the door rotates about this pin.
What I want to know is how do I get to the springs. Presumeably I pull the oven forward out of its built in unit and remove the outer side panels or access panels to replace the springs. I just want clarification that this is the correct action my previous oven came with a mini workshop manual/parts diagram this one did not.
It confirmed what I thought, though not specific to my oven
Still Need help?
