After searching tutorials for several hours i FINALLY found your vid! Thank you for sharing the knowledge from your experience. Very thorough and is precisely what i was searching for rather than all them replacement tutorials. Once again thank you good sir. Well wishes for you and yours
Thanks for your video. I had the hinge jam like you! What brand range is yours? Mine is NXR - about 11 yrs old - the hinges look identical to yours. I was able to get the door to open without bending the door (I hope!) But it does look like the plate over the hinge bent a little. I ordered new hinges. Fingers crossed they arrive as NXR parts are hard to find. I'll bend the plate straight when I install the new hinges. Hoping it all works out! Anyway, this really helped me understand the jam and how the hinges operate. Appreciate your thorough and easy to follow approach!
@@MCRinOC yes mine is also an NXR. Had it 4-5 years. One of my stainless steel plates covering the hinge slot did move and partly jam a door one time. I was able to flatten it and it's been fine since. Just be sure to lube the hinges every so often and if the door begins to stick at all when opening, be sure to lube it well. Good luck
@@dadlifediydoityourselflike2293 Thanks. I was able to obtain the hinges and install them. A giant pain in the butt! They looked well greased when I received them. I don't ever want to take them off again so if I start having trouble, I'll probably use the "spray in" lube method. A tip for anyone with an older NXR range - To reinstall the oven door, you have to push back on the hinge ALL THE WAY and tuck the locking clip inside the slot. Initially, I was only using the locking clip with the hinge pushed down half way. Every time I tried to install the door the hinges weren't sliding into the slots easily and the clips would pop off so the hinge spring would snap back to the closed position.
