Ovens
come in many varieties including freestanding units and stacked models
that are inserted into a wall. Kitchen oven units that get a lot of use
or are getting old may have problems develop, such as a loose or
squeaky door which may require replacing the hinges. You can replace
the hinges on the door to your oven by first removing the door from the
rest of the oven.
jQuery('.intro .thumbnail').each(function(i,e){
jQuery(e).find('img').one('error',function(){ jQuery(e).remove(); });
});

screws or they may be held in place when the door sections are
tightened or secured.
-

the new hinges into the door and secure them with the screwdriver or
place the section of door back on. Tighten all of the screws securing
the sections together.
