Hi Tammy:
Many of the older stoves used a similar door hinge system.
When the door is fully opened it can be removed in the following way.
It's much easier with two people.
With one person on each side, lift near the hinge (closest to the stove) then pull away from the stove and at the same time, lift the handle end of the door.
There is a tab and a notch on the hinge arm that has to slide past the retainer.
To re-install, the hinge has to be set for the "door open position".
Slide the hinge arms into the slot so that the tab and slot engage in the correct positions.
Hope this helps.

There should be clips that hold that element in place, check to see if those clips are missing and/or have fallen out, if the clips are all in place and depending on the age of the oven the element could have some hot and cold spots and then you should replace that element.
If the oven won't turn off the oven thermostat is often the cause of the problem. The electrical contacts inside the oven thermostat can weld themselves together and then the oven won't turn off. If this happens, turn off power to the entire appliance at the household circuit breaker or fuse. The oven thermostat usually cannot be tested and must be replaced if defective.
Oven Control Board
The oven control board has a set of relays that turn on and off power to the bake and broil circuits according to the customer settings and sensor input. If the oven won't turn off it could be that one of the relays on the oven control board is shorted closed, providing voltage to the heating circuit. It can be dangerous if the oven won't turn off. Don't leave the oven unattended without turning off power to the oven.
Relay board:
Some ovens are equipped with a relay board. This circuit board has several relays which control the switching of electrical current to the oven heat source. If the oven won't turn off it may be that one or more of the relays on the relay board have failed. If this happens replace the relay board. The relays on the board are not sold separately. ALSO CHECK THE BAKE AND BROIL ELEMENT.
: I offer free advice bcuz God is so good!
Check the oven fuse. If that's OK, unplug it from the power supply. Remove the screws holding the element to the oven and pull it carefully back away from the oven wall. Connect your VOM test leads to the 2 terminals (meter set to at least 250Vac). Make sure the leads are not touching any metal parts of the oven and they are not touching the element. Plug oven in and turn the oven on. Do not touch the oven during testing. Reading 220 - 250 Vac power is OK. Element is bad. Reading lower then 220 or none at all no power getting to element, need more testing to find the problem. Be careful, and use common sense when working with and around electricity.
