[SOLVED] Oven door hinges locked in transit position. Won't unlock. (2025 Update) Solved

Fred Phase · 2003-10-05T16:15:13+00:00

I just thought I'd clean the oven door of my Hygena Diplomat. Badmove.The door removes by lifting some catches on the hinges and closing thedoor. Instead of closing it lifts to allow removal. So far so good.The problem comes when I am cleaning the removed door I accidentallypush the hinge. It closes and clicks in a fully retracted position,which I assume is for transit or something.I am normally quite good working these things out but this time I'mstumped. There just doesn't seem to be any way to unlatch this hinge.I have removed it from the glass door completely to have a closerlook. It's made by a company called "Nuova Star".They have a website no information on the website on how to unlock locked hinges. Fromwhat I can tell the hinge I have is on this page... is model HE1S - Mod.086.If anyone has experience with these hinges and knows how to unlockthem I would much appreciate it. ThanksFred.

Its also a pity that the stupid web site that some are using to view this group does not actually allow quoting of the message as well. Brian

2003! I suspect the OP's oven warranty might now be out of time!

I found a really easy way to fix this .. I used a door handle ( from a laundry cupboard) and used it to lever it . It takes very little force when you have it secured 👊🏼 So any metal handle will work ( bathroom and laundry are the most likely places )
