customer has self fitted new hinges to built in belling formular 3 (xou388wh) oven, there is now play in the oven door. Does anybody know if you can tension the springs and how, or do you have to fit new door springs. thanks in advance 😕
Re: play in belling oven door
Is it the hinges or the hinge sockets (more likely) they replaced ?
If they have, they will have fitted them wrong I expect.
The hinges themselves (kit) is now obsolete as are the springs.
Check the sockets though 😉

Re: play in belling oven door
they claim that it was the hinges they replaced and had to take the oven out of the housing to do it and take the door off, is this likely?
Re: play in belling oven door
It was the sockets in that case, they have to be fitted inside and a mod carried out (drill larger holes through cavity and new bolts etc).
If they fitted them incorrectly most people try and fit them as the original throught the front with the door off but it sounds like they did it correctly.
On the new hinge sockets there is a block on the outside, remove the lower bolt holding it and fit a washer in there and it may bring the door up to the seal, if that doesn’t work they’re a bit stuck I’m afraid as the hinges will be worn.

….but do check the bottom of the main door frame where the pin goes through the hinge, if there is a lot of wear to the holes then the door will never close up tight. This part is also obsolete too.
I do have a quantity of the hinges mod kits still so let me know if you need one?
