Thanks so much for this video and for all the comments. So helpful and possibly marriage- saving 😂

Would you have photo of the back of your opera range showing wiring connection

Can't thank you enough for this. My oven has been door-less for the last week until I saw your video.

Thankyou. If I didn't come across this video, I was cancelling Christmas lunch. I really hope this comment helps anyone who has this problem! I spent 6Hrs trying to get my door back on, having several problems along the way. I googled, youtubed and nothing worked.... At about 4hrs in, I came across this video. I didn't read the comments at first and thought this was a slightly different hinge as mine was long when it was open. I didn't realise that the piece that the pin goes into, pulls in and hooks over the end and the pin hole that you are showing is at the bottom. Which then makes the hinge shorter. I couldn't see my pin hole. The best tip of all was in these comments - Use a piece of wood. We laid the door flat on a towel (had removed the handle). My partner is the strong one, so he pulled the hinge back using the wood on the end and I moved the mechanism up to hook in place and put the pin in! I couldn't believe it, when it worked!! We had Christmas lunch the next day. I was ready to cancel!! Oh by the way, if you don't have a pin, which we didn't - use a strong allen key. Our hinges became unlocked because I originally used pins that were too weak and they sprang open, bending the pins inside. That was a couple of hours wasted there, using multiy grips and a file to remove.... NEVER AGAIN WILL I REMOVE MY DOOR

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! Helped me with my exact same problem. Really appreciate the effort to document this!

Those new springs are strong! I bust the shank of a drill bit !! Done now though, thanks for the video.

Thanks a million you saved my day thanks.

We just did this last night... we got the pin in one of the new hinges with some serious effort. We went to put the pin in the second hinge.. and the bar holding the spring in place snapped. Now I have to order ANOTHER hinge and take the whole door apart again. Awful.

D E you're a champion! My husband and I have been trying to find some sort of instruction on how to get this damn door back in, and your video has been enormously helpful. Thank you

Just done this today, nightmare job. The tricky part is pushing the new hinges back, it's a two man job. What we did was remove old hinges and put new ones in, fit everything back together and then put the door in an upright position, then one person stands on the new hinge and the you effectively push the door back like you're opening it until its pressed back far enough to put the pin in. Right faff. Hopefully that helps someone out there! Smeg a42-5

i still cannot see how you managed to place the door back in, you just stop the show and get on with your life!!

Thanks man. I have to do this today😭. The worst design ever. I'd NEVER buy a Smeg again.

Thanks DE, I got my life back as well. FYI everyone: When you get the hinges set (I had to use the weight of my foot to set them and insert the allen key), not easy. Make sure you place the hinge grooves at the back of the oven entry slot not the front! It took me ages to work this out.

Thank you! Kept trying the wrong hole.

Thanks man, your video really helped me out.

Hi Guy thank you for sharing you know the challenge and have shown what is important

Thanks - this saved me some aggravation

Life saver!!!

Thanks for that.

You got a video how to compress the hinge to closed?
