 The call was a concern with the ilve oven door ……. making a loud noise as it was opening and closing. So one we arrived and tested the door we found the hinge springs had broken off and jamming inside the door.

As you can see in the photo taken the ilve hinges have springs that take the weight off the door hinge and allow the door to open and close properly. When we dismantled the oven door we found the spring in  pieces.

We also found food particles and a build up of hardened grease…. its important to know that having your ilve oven door serviced every two years would possibly prevented this hinge issue. The build up of  foreign matter has place a part in dislodging the springs and weakened them.  So we gave the door a good clean then replaced both ilve door hinges back to there original fittings.

The tip for today is that its important to know that having your ilve oven door serviced every two years would possibly prevented this hinge issue.

As you can see in the above slider the first image show the oven door not closing. The second image shows the oven door repaired and closing shut.

The new Ilve oven door hinges are now sealing the door closed and not allowing any air to escape. It;s important not to have air escaping from the oven as it will take longer to come to temperature and therefore use more energy.
