smeg oven door hinges problem

Re: smeg oven door hinges problem

need to insert the 2 pins in the holes to lock down, cannot understand why one has locked-that is probably the faulty one! customer will have been supplied with these when new, no doubt lost since. A couple of smallish allen keys or small screwdrivers will do the job. Need to open the hinge out fully to do so- not easy, I use my foot (if wearing sturdy workshoes) to force it down. Bastard of a job especially if the customer is watching you struggle.
Wondering how you got the door off in the first place?

Re: smeg oven door hinges problem

do you have the model number these are for? I have not come across any that lock themselves down.

Re: smeg oven door hinges problem

correct hinges then but you must use the pins to re fit them, break off the small locking lever as its not used. I cannot find any instructions to fit from smeg but I know it is a pain and the holes do not line up until the hinge is fully open. The first one I did I gave up assuming they were wrong. I will send you some stuff I have on them that may help. need your email address.

sent last week John, have just re sent. the levers have been deleted, you just need to snap off the ones that any still have them on. Hinges look correct and I can see the hole for the pins in the photos, believe me you just have not yet opened them up enough.
