How To: Remove and Reinstall Oven Door: Easy

Household appliances can be tremendously frustrating, particularly when trying to reinstall an oven door. This how-to tutorial will demonstrate how to remove the door after disengaging the hinge locks, and then how to reinstall the door. Before reaching for your hammer out of frustration, have a look. The oven model featured is a GE Profile. Many oven brands use similar door and door hinge construction. Always refer to the manual for the specific make and model of your oven. Never force the door. Only take on a task of this nature if fit to do so.

This really is the best of YouTube. I'm a 64 year old female I was able to remove the door with no difficulty cleaned my oven better than it ever has been before and replaced the door easy peasy. Thank you thank you thank you

I watched several videos before removing my oven door and disassebling it to clean the inside of the glass. It cleaned up beautifully and then....came time to reinstall it. After several attempts, I went back to look for help on YouTube. I found your video and it was the only one that pointed out the notches that have to engage the hinge. I got installed on the next try. Thank you!

It baffles me that this info isn't included in the manual, but this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Perfectly demonstrated and succinct. Excellent work, sir. Thank you for posting!!

I'm 41 years old and sometimes think about the pre-internet world. Then I find myself staring at a heavy door on the floor, after treating my oven to a special deep clean, and trying to figure out how on earth to reattach it. Thank God for youtube and to you Andy for making such an easy to understand video!! (Mine is a Samsung model if that's of relevance to anyone looking this up in the future).
Better not to dwell on how I got to my forties before getting around to cleaning an oven properly...

5-stars for this short, concise tutorial on the oven door re-install. As others have said, One of the best reasons YouTube exists! Thank you!

If you're stuck and frustrated with not being able to put back or remove the door, the key and essential portion to watch is from 3:41 to 3:50. I know by experience: I spent two hours trying to figure it out myself and thinking I broke the door. Don't be me! Thank you so much for your help! Now that the door is back on, I'm scared to try to remove it again....

YOUR INSTRUCTIONS SAVED ME! The door came off one side as I was cleaning and when I went to close it, the door completely came off... So frustrating and I watched a few other videos but yours was the one that really helped! Thanks for being a lifesaver!

Thanks! Been stuck with my door on the floor for an hour, and yours was the video that finally explained what I was missing! Great, clear video!

Thank you! It worked! I cleaned the oven yesterday and was unable to close the door. Can’t believe I actually fixed something myself. Thank you to my friend Maria and for your U-tube video.

Thanks for this - we’d been wrestling with this for two days! In our case, the hinge locks on the door pins were folded down, which prevented the pins from extending far enough to catch in the oven slots. Pulling firmly on the pins to extend them, then opening the locks to hold the extended pins in place, did the trick.

You're a lifesaver! It took me half an hour struggeling to conclude I couldn't replace the door. And after following your instructions I replaced it in a jiffy. Thx for your practical info. 😊

Thanks that tip on resting the oven door hinge notches back in place was so important! much appreciated!

[Kaylakitkat]

This video was 5 years ago but it's still helping people, including myself, today. Thank you for the video! Very clear and easy to understand and follow regardless of the oven brand.

[DriftDreams]

I had an idea of what I was doing, but struggled getting my door back on. That bottom notch tip instantly helped me and removed my headache. Excellent video. Thank you sir.

Great Job Andy! My wife and I wrestled with this POS for an hour. The secret was the lower tab on the oven itself and the slot on the hinge bar. Also be sure the locking lever is free floating or in the lock position after door install or the door will appear too high and won't close. Great Video!!

I really appreciate you taking the time to go through each step and pointing out the crucial elements of each step. My oven door wouldn't shut on Thanksgiving this year (Thank goodness the meal was already cooked and I was pulling the last item out of the oven. After much frustration and yelling from my husband because he was also hangry!! We set the door aside and then searched for a video online because the Oven manual's instruction said to set the door in and then CLOSE the door which of course did not work even when we tried it multiple ways! We are so pleased with your how to reinstall an oven door. Thank you and have a very happy Holiday season this year!
