Expert Review
If your Thor oven door has started to drop, won't close flush, or feels wobbly, this is almost certainly the part you need. A worn hinge lets precious heat out, affecting your bakes and your bills. This AF297 hinge is a direct swap-out, and for any competent engineer, it's a quick job to get your oven door sealing perfectly again.
Installation & Maintenance
- Ensure oven is off and cool before installation.
- Check and tighten hinge fixings during routine maintenance.
- Avoid slamming the oven door to prolong hinge life.
- Apply food-safe lubricant to pivot points if required.
