how to check oven-door hinges and receiver brackets
a sagging or poorly closing oven door needs its supports checked before parts are chosen. the 691330361 kit contains left and right hinges and two matching oven-side receiver brackets for one door; screws are not supplied.
a repairer must safely support the heavy glass door during any fitting.

scope: the no. 43 marking is one comparison point, not proof of fit. use the full model, hinge arms, holes and receivers. do not lift off the door or handle loaded hinge arms to identify a part.
diy warning
working on appliances can involve mains electricity, water and moving parts. always disconnect power and water before you start. in Australia, gas work must be done by a licensed gasfitter, and fixed (hard-wired) electrical work by a licensed electrician. everything on this site is guidance only, and any repair you carry out is at your own risk. we are not responsible for any damage or injury caused by attempting a repair. if you are not confident, please use a qualified technician.

steps
- leave the oven cold
keep it off and cold. note an uneven gap or loose-feeling door, but don't force it, repeatedly move it, lift it off or handle the hinge arms.
- identify the parts
give the repairer the accessible model label and any existing hinge photos. don't dismantle the door to find a stamp. have them compare hinges, brackets and mounting points with the product page.
- arrange supported fitting
have the parts fitted with the door supported under the exact model's instructions. keep hands clear of loaded hinge arms. arrange service if access goes beyond the door mounts.
- check the door
the fitted door must sit securely, move smoothly and close evenly. it must also stay safely supported at its normal open position.
