Delonghi oven hinges replacement

[subs]

Type GSS601. Have to replace these and wondered if any one had any tips. Do i fit the hinges to the cooker first and then to the door or vice versa? How do the hindges come off from the cooker do they un-hook and do i have to remove the side panels of cooker to do this ?

Thanks

pull the door down

pull the hook from the back of the hinge over the tab on both hinges

the door will lock and lift off

refit the new hinges, but make sure the hooks are in place before you put the door back on, or theyre impossible to put back on (very tight but use a pair of pliers)

refit door, so groove fits into runner, open door fully, release hooks, job done!!

no need to go into cooker, unless your changing runners too

hope this help

If its the the same as the GSS603:-
Open the oven door. On each of the hinges is a clip that locks it into the open position ( the clip may only be a wire hook that locks the lower half of the hinge to the upper half). With the door in the locked open position lift (hold it firmly at each side) the front edge to about 60 degrees up from horizontal. You should see the hinge assembly start to lift away from its carrier. Lift the door clear of the cooker.
Take the screws out of the bottom of the inner door and loosen the screws securing the handle. The inner should be able to be taken away from the outer. Take the remaining screws out of the hinges and fit new hinges. Once the hinges are in the door and screwed in place, lock them into the open oven door position as described above. Watch your fingers, there is quite a spring tension.
Have a look where the hinges were before refitting the door. The hinge carrier has a little wheel. If the wheel is very wobbly and loose, replace the carrier.
On Connect, the hinge carrier (2 off) is Del063025 and the hinges are Del063089 but verify they fit the 601 before ordering.
Sounds complicated but probably takes less time to do than to write how to do it.

Hope it helps
