Suburban Oven Door Removal

Need to repaint front of oven door. Before I start disassembling things I don't need to, can anyone tell me how to remove the door. The hinges are riveted together, not a removable screw.
Thanks for any suggestions.

  • It is hard to describe. You must open the door and BOTH spring loaded hinges have a small hole in them. You insert a nail in EACH hole to lock the spring loaded hinge in place and then you lift the door up and out. Reinstall and remove the nails. Doug

    I think what you're saying is the door just lifts up off the hinges, once the spring pressure is relieved. Correct?
  • Thanks Doug. I'll take another look at it in the morning.

    Yes.
  • Thanks again. Door is off and painted. Just hope it goes back on as easy as it came off. Great that we can depend on others on this forum for the answers we seek :)
