- How I got hurt AFTER watching videos on how to remove and replace a gas or electric Frigidaire oven door and hinge. I'll show you what to watch out for. I suspect these hinges slipped out of the socket so easily because the oven was dirty and greasy. Thanks for watching. Like, Comment, Subscribe please.
Thank you!!! I am an 80 year old woman who has watched numerous videos to no avail. I have tried every thing.Finally you did it for me. Putting foot on door while pulling back also helped. I used fence pliers to pull it back enough to put down latches. Your video saved my day!!
You are truly awesome for doing that yourself! I learned repair work from My mom!
This is the most valuable UA-cam video I've watched. I found it AFTER I smashed my thumb (just like you), bled for awhile, cursed for awhile, yelled at my wife, kicked the dog and considered my options. Then I found you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to produce the video!
Lol. Sorry you got smashed too. Thanks so much for the encouragement!
Thank you for this. It happened with my hinges and I damn near broke both thumbs. No where in any other videos I've watched does anyone say this might happen, and you're the only one I found who explains how to fix it.
It is crazy how unsafe they are
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm a senior (latter 70's) and had removed and replaced the door myself before, but the hinges had not been sprung. This time they were sprung and I was unaware of the difference and tried unsuccessfully to replace the door. Goodness, it's heavy. After watching your video my husband and I together were able to position the door atop a large dining chair, pull and unlock both hinges (safely, keeping fingers totally away), using the tools you used and had success. Thank you, thank you, thank you again. Never going to do this myself until our younger able-bodied son or grandsons are around.
That is fantastic. Thank you for that clear description. Wow. Glad you didn't get bit.
That is so awesome. Thank you for sharing
You are our hero! You saved us an afternoon of aggravation and injury! There seemingly was no easy way to put our oven door back on, and we were unaware of possible injury. You could have had a fractured phalange! Hope your thumb is fully healed. Thank you so much!
This video was just what I needed to safely fix the oven door without hurting myself, thanks for taking the time to put it on youtube!!
Once again you saved somebody else’s hand! Thank you for the video. My husband and I were both trying to figure this out and would have hurt ourselves if not for your video. We can’t thank you enough!
thanks you for your encouragement, mary!
same here !
Thank you so much, although my husband didn't get hurt, he was getting extremely frustrated. We watched other videos, and still no luck, until we watched yours, and seen that you had to open the hinge. Thanks again.
Thanks for posting. I have a Frigidaire double wall oven which stopped working after being used only 3 times in 1 year, and 9 days after the manufacturer's warranty expired. I removed the doors according to the owner's manual but could not reinstall. Yours was the lone video showing the problem to be a sprung hinge. In trying to figure out the problem I called Frigidaire only to find out they do not have a Tech Help line. The representative offered to go to UA-cam. I really appreciate you posting this. No more Frigidaire appliances for me.
Hello friend. I had the same injury on my thumb trying to remove the door on an old Kenmore gas range. I'm an automotive tech with decent mechanical skills and felt confident going into this job, but little did I know the door had to be 80% closed before lifting and pulling off the hook. It was a pretty gnarly cut down to the bone, and had to go to the ER to get stitches, but thank you for showing us numpties how to do it properly.
Thank you thank you thank you! I just had one of the most frustrating days ever. This video saved the day. Hard to believe that engineers actually thought this design was ok. The sound when the hinge sprung was terrifying! Sorry about your injury. I hope it healed well.
Your video saved me from a ton of frustration! The latches on my door were in the wrong position and I had not realized how to go about addressing that. Yours was the only video I found that made it clear how to proceed. Thank you!!
Thank you for your video. It took me 2 days of fighting with my oven door, until I found your video. I was able to put it back on in a minute. Thanks again
Omg This happened to me the very first time I cleaned my oven. Actually had to go to E.R. It was bad. This video actually just described my last cleaning. I just watched it and was able to put my door back on. The best video out there on the particular stove!! Thank you sooo much💯💕
You’re a life saver. Not a finger saver. Appreciate your help
The exact thing happened to me in the exact same spot on my thumb about 5 weeks ago. It wasn't a cut it gouged out a divot in my thumb. i saw this too late but anyone who watches this and executes this repair successfully owes Ithacafixer large!!
Thank you so much for your support and the public warning. Sorry for your thumb :/
Thank you so much , I’ve watched countless videos and this is the only one that truly depicts this is with fully disengaging the spring . 🙏🏾
You saved my marriage! My husband and I were at our wits end and your video explained things perfectly! Awesome video!!
(Sorry about your finger btw)
Oh my goodness! So appreciate the encouragement and positive feedback!
Us too thank you so much ... the parks marathon ny 👍
Couldn't do it until I watched this. Thanks! Hours and hours I spent. You showed me how!!
You are THE MAN!!!!. Using the pliers to pull up the hinges and then push down the lever.😮😮😮
Thanks so much! I was struggling with my oven door until I found your video.
Thank you! Cleaning the inside of the glass seemed so easy until the door would only attach on one side. I could tell one latch was in a different position than the other, but couldn't figure out how to fix it. Your video saved the day! Thought I was going to have to call a maintenance man, but your video showed a simple fix!
Thanks so much you expanded great I watched the same guy you're talking about he's a big dummy .me and my wife trying this for 45 minutes .door would not hook in lol . watched your video and had it in 1 second thanks 👍
Excellent encouragement. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your video! You saved me so much time and anger and added frustration. As soon as I watched your video, I had my oven door back on in 5 minutes. Bravo!!
I almost got hurt with the hinges. I couldn't find videos on how to put the hinges back in the position they needed to be in. Your video saved me then you
Thank you so much! We were super frustrated when we couldn’t figure out how to put the door back on. Thanks for the easy and clear directions! ❤️
After an hour of trying with other videos, this one did the trick-- thanks so much for taking the time! Posting so other owners of Frigidaire Model # FGF 386 GQJ or FGF386GQJ find this faster!
I owe you one!
THANK YOU SIR .. I’ve been trying for 4 hours.. came across your video.. it took 5 minutes..
My wife went to clean our stove and knocked one hinge off. I've been struggling for over an hour. Thank you for this video! Sorry about your thumb.
Thank you
OMG, thank you! I was just ready to go by a new stove. All the other videos just showed how to put the door back on if the hinge was not sprung! I wish there were a way for your videos to come up first in the search! Thank you!!!!!
Thank you so much!! I think we watched the same video. The palm of my hand took a hurtin. 😅
I’m really glad I came across this video. 😌😌
Great video very helpful. I wasted 2 hours trying to figure it out. U DA MAN
Omg! Thank you for the very detailed video!! I did the same as you, pulled the stove door to move the stove and one side came off… I could not figure out how the heck to get it back in until I watched your video! Thank you, thank you and Thank you!! ❤
Great video! I accidently pulled the door off on left side and didn't have a clue how to get it back on until I watched your video.
Thank you! You nailed it!!!!! I had actually reset the side that hadn't sprung. Not knowing that it was right and the other hinge laying flat was wrong. I appreciate you showing exactly how it's done!
Thank you I love you your
You save me a lot of time
I spent several hours to put my door back until I found your video
Done and two minutes.
Your are great.
OMG! Thank you, thank you. Like others I had the same problem getting the door back on. Watch a lot of videos where they just slid it back on with ease. Never explained what you did. You saved me a good $185.
brother you just saved me a headache and a bad cut. I had the door come off the left hinge..well done on explaining and warnings. thank you!
just to add...take this man's warning seriously! in removing the door...the hinge sprang back and just nicked my thumb...🙄
U literally helped me put my oven door back on! Ty. I was struggling to find a video but none of them had the spring locks. 😫 Thank you so much. Now I can put my door back on! 😌
I literally did everything you did. Including watch those other two videos and screwed up my thumb. Thanks for the fix. I couldn’t get that door back on. I wish I saw your video first.
Thanks for this video... could not get the oven door to go on until watching this video.
This is the best video... literally just saved me from a painful accident.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much
My friend your video was the best one that actually answered my question. I did cut my hand before watching the video but I couldn't put the door in. I was getting frustrated and almost gave up. 2hrs and 45 minutes later with a huge cut on my hand I got it done with your help. Thank you.
Thank you for kind comment. Frigidaire STILL uses those clips.
Thank you. Sorry about your thumb. I needed a method to get the hinge back in the ready position. Yours did the trick.
I’m watching this with a bandaid on my thumb. Hinges about took my thumb off. Thanks so much for this video!
I was about to remove my oven door and thought before I do, I better go to youtube and see the proper way. I saw your (very catchy) thumbnail, and decided to watch. I am so glad I did, because there is no doubt something like that would have happened to me! I am very thankful and appreciative! You gained a new follower.
Thanks. It is a pretty catchy thumbnail 😆
Quality video that was exactly what I was looking for. I can’t believe no one else mentions it at all as many other videos as there are about these doors.
Saved my thumb, this is the best video I found thank you
Thanks for this! I wish I'd have seen it prior to removing my oven door. I ended up injuring my thumb requiring a trip to the ER to get 7 stitches. I have lost mobility & strength in my thumb now, (hopefully not permanently). No warning is stated in the oven manual telling people to beware of the hinges when removing it either! I'm a very mechanically inclined person too - it's rare I have trouble with stuff like this, but this setup is a very dangerous design. Your video illustrates the problem well and explains why it's necessary to keep your thumbs well away from the spring loaded bear traps they call hinges! Nice job illustrating the problem, keep up the good work! Maybe Fridgidaire should take note of your video and add a mention in their manuals for people to be extra careful.
I got a cut in my middle finger when the oven door slipped while trying to put it back on several times with the hinges not fully extended. thank you very much. your video was a great help!
Sorry it got you too. Glad the video helped. Happy Holidays
Thank you so much for this detail explanation, its very simple if its in half angled position and lock,otherwise its a total frustration until they find your video.
Thanks....you saved the day, my sanity and probably my fingers....
Thank you for the video! My husband’s finger was so close to the hinge when it snapped! We struggled together to try and pry that hinge open and finally I just told him to stop because I felt like it was an accident waiting to happen. I went online and found your video. Easy breezy after your instructions. Great of you to take the time and post this for others!
Thanks for encouraging comments!
Thank you, showing how to pull down and lock the hinge was super useful!
omg thank you for helping me. I am sweating and smell like a gross an oven after replacing the shattered outer glass by watching a video....my springs had sprung and I couldnt figure out how to get the door back on. (I only have a minor bruise lol)
So God Bless you my friend
This is the first time that I have ever left a comment or subscribed. This video should be madatory watching for any DIYer who is reinstalling his/her Frigidaire oven door. After wasting time trying to fit the door into the oven frame slots (all to no avail) I thought that maybe it had something to do with the locking mechanism. Your video confirmed this and gave a very good explanation. Sorry that you injured your thumb. Very grateful that despite your pain you helped me out.
Thanks for the video. Showed me exactly how to fix my problem and saved my thumbs.
Thank you!!!
I was dealing with the door the whole day!
Very in detail.
Agree with all the rest!!! Thank you!!!! Never had an issue till I did- your video Showed exactly hinge mechanism- great footage. So sorry you got hurt!
Thank you so much, we've been trying to reinstall the door for almost 1h. Your video explain everything!
Thank God for your video. There was no other information, videos or anything that warned about those hinges contracting like that or what to do to get them into the position required to reinstall the door.
You save my life😂😂. My wife almost killed me. I took the door out and try to put it back and never work. Ur video saved 😅😅
Helpful. I figured something else was causing mines not to go in property all the other videos did not show this part. Thank you
So happy I found this life Saver of a Video and it Was the only video That UA-cam Was showing for this Model of the Stove. You Made Saved so many people that We're having this same Problem. Can't thank you enough wish I was a billionaire so I can give you life changing Money.
Thank you! This was of great help this morning. Best video on UA-cam for Frigidaire Ovens. Thanks again.
Thank you!
Dude you're a lifesaver i did the same thing you did, worked perfectly thanks.
thank you so much for this video .. i spent more than 1 hour trying to fix it and only after i saw your video i got it
so glad it helped. happy holiday cooking.
I just want to say thank you just was an awesome video on showing you how to put this crazy oven door back on!! Thank you so much
Literally watching this with a bloody mashed thumb so I can put the door back on without getting hurt again. I saw this “life hack” on TikTok but got my finger caught. Thank you so much, going to put it back on now
So sorry.
Thank you!!! I messed up my finger taking the door off. Then could not get it back on. I watched 10 videos at least and it was so simple for them. Then finally found this video. 5 stars
Thanks Joe!
Thank you sir! That’s help a lot. It sure did save me some money and some frustration
Thanks for the information. I found this after getting a bandaid for my thumb. I figured there had to be an easy way. No problem after your instructions.
Thank you This helped me get my hinges in right position to out door back on
Well after I got my thumb crushed just like you I decided to look up how to do it and seen your thumb nail and said yep this guy knows what he's talking about lol. Thanks for the vid
thanks, man, for taking the time to show this. glad I watched before launching into my home repair.
this seriously is the best vid for installing the oven door. Sorry about your thumb! 2 thumbs up!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Your video saved me hours of time!!!
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR YOUR HELPFUL VIDEO I'VE BEEN TRYING TO PUT BACK THAT DAMN DOOR FOR 2 HOURS I WAS ABOUT TO THROW THE WHOLE STOVE AWAY🤣 May God Bless you. ❤
Thank you for the encouragement. He does all the time. Bless you too.
WOW thank you so much we were about to give up and call someone to come fix the oven as they other videos on youtube about this situation were total crap but with your video we fixed the oven in less than 2 minutes!! Thank you
You are so welcome. Thanks for commenting
you are my husbands hero! thank you for posting!
man thanks a million I did bust my hand open but finally I got the door back on❤
Thank you so much for this very helpful video. Somehow the door unlocked and one side came off. I and my wife watched different videos all are not showing properly how to reinstall door. I get smacked my thumb very hardly same like you. I and my wife try long time to reinstall it and it’s not working how they showed. After watching your video we did it less than 1 minute. Thank you very much for your helpful video.
I'm glad to have found your video! Hope your thumb healed well.
Really helpful video. Originally I had previously viewed another how to video to remove the oven door to fix a lighter switch. To my surprise when I tried to reinstall the oven door frustration hit me hard. The video didn't tell that the hinge has to be in the right position. Had to go through 20 videos before I found yours. Sorry about your thumb
Thanks for the CORRECT way to do this! I did the same thing and busted me hand open too. Some other jackass has a video that is completely wrong!
Glad to help. I saw one video where all ya really saw was the guys back!
Bruh thanks!! this is the vid I needed to get this devilish door back on!!
Thanks
I wish I saw this video before I had a similar mishap
Ouch doesn’t even begin to cover my lacerated and bruised hand
Glad it missed the nail
Lucky to not have an emergency room visit
Thanks for sharing
you saved me a finger and a fix when I could figure out how to get it back on thanks!!!
That was my hope. Thanks for commenting.
Thank you so much for the steps @5:52. I kept trying to put my door back on and didn't realize the hinges had sprung. Followed your instructions and voila! Again, thanks!
Thanks for commenting about the steps. I look for clear instructions too
You a life and finger saver. Thank you!
I took the door off with no problem, but both joints snapped shut. ( also got cut on my palm) This was truly helpful! I have a different model but it contains the same hinges and I couldn't get them to lock back into my oven.
Wish I would’ve watched this video before I mest up my nail but it’s all good you live and you learn thanks for putting this video up
I hear you. Lots of trial and bleeding here. Thanks.
Thanks it helped me I was lost and about to hurt myself.
Thank you for this video, it was the only one I could find with the exact hinge match to my stove. The instructions from the stove do not show how to reinstall . It omitted the position of the hinge locks. Watching your video, I reinstalled in a minute. You really gotta hate the spring hinges. Not a task for mortal men
Glad to do it. Thank for the great support!
Thanks for the warning.
Wish I could give this 10 likes. Just saved me some time I was pulling out the hinges just not far enough to keep them sprung forward because I was scared I was going to break it. Seen your video and got mines on.
Thanks for the video. Even though my oven uses a different style hinge I will be cautious and use a screw driver instead of my thumb or fingers. Cheers.
Thank you so much, I made a same mistake and hopefully now I can fix it
Super helpful! Thank you
This video was a life savor almost called the effin fire department to help me cuz I was freaked out not having my oven door on 🤣 so thank you a million times !!
