How do I replace the inner door of my zanussi ZBQ365X oven?

You will find some very helpful videos on how to do this by going to the following site.

WWW.YOUTUBE.CO.UK

In the search box enter--- CLEANING OVEN DOOR GLASS or REPLACING OVEN DOOR GLASS,
You should be able to get all the imformatoin you need here.

Remove the door from the range.
Place it on a large flat surface.
Remove the screws around the edges to separate the inner and outer door parts for cleaning.

You should be able to repair your existing door. Have a look around the perimeter of the door to see if there are any screws, particularly near the handle. You are looking to take the front fascia off the door, so that you can access the inside. Most doors have the front fascia held on by small brackets glued to the back of the glass that clip on to a fixing on the internal door. The top of the fascia is normally held in place by the handle. Once you have the front of the door off you can retrieve the piece of glass that has fallen out. You will almost certainly find that the glass has come away from the adhesive that was used to hold it in place. You will need to clean up the glass and the metal door and re-stick the glass using a high temperature oven door glue

Unfortunatey, it happens quite frequently, there is no one reason for it to do so.
The only solution is to replace it.
Over a number of years use, the glass looses it's properties, and this is what can happen.

I have a Zanussi ZDF290X which requires a new top oven seal. I have pulled the remainns of the old one out, but without dismantling the oven it seems impossible to fit the new seal. Any easy way of fixing this, please?

To replace the door glass do the following:

0 Check if there is a hinge stop bracket located at the hinge point of entry on the oven, in that case remove it.
1 remove the oven door by pulling it up and removing from the the hinges. If glass is broken , then secure glass with tape. Have a table with a cloth on top ready to lay the door.
2 Remove the outer screws , starting from lower side of the panel.
3Removethe inner screws. Keep all set of screws ordered, and take note of theorder you remove them. You will follow reverse order in reassembly.
4 the frame will be free now,
5 Remove the external glass panel and leave it in a safe place.
6 Replace the inner glass.
7 Clean outer glass and metal door, re-assemble it and mount it back

I also report testimonials for your model:

"removed the door from the oven by releasing clips attached to the door hinge -- very nicely engineered. Removed about 6 philips head screws to allow the door assembly to be taken apart for access to the glass. Lifted out the broken glass, cleaned the inside of the door, installed the new glass, reassembled the door (a two minute project), and reattached the door to the oven. Cleaning the inside of the door"

"I removed the oven door by lifting it off with the hinges. Disassembled the door parts one at time making sure I remember where I removed the screws until I am able to get to the broken glass. The most difficult part is making sure that the insulation strip & the gasket stayed in place after I replaced the broken glass & doing the reverse process of installing the parts together. Relatively easy process as long as you remember where the parts go. When in doubt, I had to refer to the pictorial of the disassembled door shown on your website. "

Hello tracey,
Yes i may be of assistance to your dilemma, if you notice the hinges on the bottom of the door you should be able to open it slightly and gently but firmly pull upwards and outwards which will allow the door to prop off. i would suggest placing the door on either cardboard or a soft rug. If this is not the case please write back and i would gladly help.
Please post what you do and how you did it I look forward to your posts

Hi BisseeCath,

Not sure if you still need to get your oven door off still but I have the same oven and have spent the last several hours trying to remove it and searching the web to discover how to remove it until I have just discovered a wonderful video tutorial on YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSzc4Uqbbr8
that discribes exactly how to do it (just copy and paste it into your address bar.
It is the fourth and final instruction in the video but it really is easy.
The hinge is a latching over system type that folds back into the glass apparently.
Just get a screwdriver and where the end of the hinge dissappears into the housing of the oven just flick up the hinge with the screwdriver and the locking mechanism folds back towards you and the glass.
Once both are done just jiggle and pull up the door and it will remove easily....godsend!

Not sure if this has been covered - how to remove the door from the oven.
If you look at the hinges theres a pivoting piece (under all that grease) like a zippo lighter lid. Flid that open towards you and the oven door will pop out when pivoted closed - hinges and all. It should be fairly easy to put back too. Then follow the other instructions - screws on door base.
