Re: Homark oven – which model is it?

No idea of model/part number but looks as if either seal and/or hinges are past their sell by date as well judging from amount of staining to top panel and worktop!

Re: Stoves door removal

Sorry for appearing dumb (I am not, really…. 😀 ) but still not sure about this…..

So, I lock the door hing with a nail. Understood.

I remove inner glass. i would do this anyway to clear both sides of inner glass and inner surface of external glass. Understood.

Now, it’s the plastic clip I am not sure about. Where is this located if it is not on the bottom of the door (there is a plastic end stopper there)??
Is it a plastic pin perhaps?? If so, I can imagine that this may slot though the strips that run up both sides of door and fixes the hinge to the door? Otherwise I still cannot see how this works….. :rolls:

Thanks for the replies so far, and your patience……..!

Re: Stoves door removal

Oh, the little plastic end caps on bottom of the doors? It is those that can be removed??

Re: Stoves door removal

Hmmmm, conflicting replies

wsts; I am an Oven Cleaner and remove doors to assist cleaning. I have successfully removed pretty much every door I have come across with the exception of these pesky Stoves hinges. I am familiar with having to use nails to lock hinges, a la Smeg for example, but have always been left scrating my head with these hinges. I have tried a nail in the hole but, whilst it “locks” the hinge, I cannot fathom how the hinge detaches from the body of the oven. Usually, a hinge will have a little notch cut in that latches into the receiver, but not so with Stoves…..

Re: Changing oven light in Bosch 5605 oven

A good tool is a mini boa constrictor available from Amazon – this is a rubber band type tool with a plastic handle. Grips the glass well allowing it to be unscrewed.

Not sure if your model oven has a self-clean panel in the roof – if it does, it helps to remove this panel to get a better grip.

Re: Bosch HBN7050GB/01 fan removal

Sorted!

Squirted a bit of Plusgas onto the spline, waited 5 minutes and the fan slid off!

Thanks for the advice.

Re: AEG competence oven

Although hinges may appear OK they may well need replacing as springs do gradually fail. May well need new runners (the mechanism that hinges locate into) as well as bearings can also fail.

I would try new hinges initially.

Re: Bosch HBN7050GB/01 fan removal

Yes, the half-moon element!

Will give that a go – I was going to try a more penetrating type oil such as Plus Gas – but was not sure whether fan just slotted onto spline in the normal way or whether it was secured in some other matter.

Thanks for your reply 😀
