My 12 year old Cooker’s main (bottom) oven door has dropped. There is ‘play’ in the top and bottom hinges, I’m note sure if this is normal or not. I’ve dismantled and it looks seemingly okay to my untrained eyes. There’s two parts to the hinge – a pin that fits through an ‘eye’. With the door open, it drops so to click the oven shut you have to pull the door upwards so the closing mechanism aligns and engages.
What’s this likely to be? Is it an adjustment or new hinges needed? Any obvious signs to tell?
would have to see it to know as its too old to come up on tech site
id you get 0.5mm play at the hinge it transforms to over 10mm at the catch so it does not take much

Hi,
It’s one of these: https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTAyNFg3Njg=/z/j84AAOSwo4pYd4PQ/$_86.JPG
There’s easily 2-3mm play at the hinge on the left.
The top and bottom of the hinge looks like this: s-l1600.jpg
There’s also another section that the pin on the hinge loops through, but can’t seem to see these for sale anywhere (if it is indeed either component).
