Hello, STEP 1:Grasp the handle on the Whirlpool oven door and open it to the first position.This will be a 4-inch opening STEP 2: Place your hands on either side of the oven door STEP 3: Pick up the door from the first position gently.Keep lifting the oven door until the door is clear of the hinge. Thanks
Although very tight (because the oven is only 1 yr old) i managed to get the hinges into the open position, then slide the door into position on the oven and close the door. The hinges did go back and lock as they should but I struggled for almost 30 mins before success.
If it is a drop down door, then you need to replace both door hinges, if it is a door that opens sideways, then it is probably the door catch, or door striker that needs to be replaced.
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.
open the door about 1/3 of the way and lift it off the hinge pins. it helps to have two people do this. when it is time to replace it, put the hinges in that 1/3 open position and slide the door back down on.
open each hinge about 1/3 of the way open or until it reaches the point that it will stay open, align the door slots with the hinges and lower the door down onto the hinges. Door should operate properly now.
The unit may be out of plumb ( square to the floor ). I suggest you get a level and make sure the stove/oven is level and if it's not, there are some levelers ( where legs would be on the bottom ) that can be adjusted with needle nose pliers or a cresent wrench. If this doesn'e work, you may have some hinges sprung and need to replace them. Good Luck
