Re: Help/advice oven door – BEKO SCG 7521 W gas cooker

@Dave,

Got it sorted. I was going to disassemble but BEKO doesn’t make it easy. I figured I would have had to disassemble half the oven just to get to the receiver and couldn’t find a technical manual or instructions online for the life of me. In the end I decided to take the hinge off the door, remove the top screw of the receiver, and insert the hinge inverted into the receiver, and just yank on it a bit until the edge was flush and the receiver was in oriented correctly. Worked like a charm!

Thanks for the help!

@Dave

Thanks again for the reply. I think I found what the culprit is and would kindly ask for confirmation.

The hinge works fine, and there doesn’t seem to be any untoward wear and tear on the receiver or the hinge itself. Upon close inspection I noticed that it is actually where the receive is fastened to the chasis/main body of the oven. I noticed there is a distinct bulge where the top end of the receiver screws in (see pics…difficult to see but you really notice it if you run your finger along the edge of the door opening).

This would fit with the theory that excess weight was put on the door while open so the receiver doesn’t sit exactly perpendicular to the door opening, hence the small gap at the top of the door when door is closed.

Question 1 – Is this correct?

Question 2 – Can I ‘hammer’ it back to flush by laying the oven on its back?

Question 3 – What would you do?

Many thanks once again,

Cheers,

Thanks for the quick reply and the link.

Do you think I could use the hinges in my BEKO DVG 593 top grill door?

Cheers,
