GE Appliances JT5000SFSS how to remove and replace the oven door
To reach the oven interior for cleaning or to straighten a door that sits crooked.
Steps
- Fully open the door.
- Pull the hinge locks down toward the door frame to the unlocked position. A small flat-blade screwdriver may be needed.
- Grasp both sides of the door at the top and close it to the removal position, about 3 inches open with nothing above the door.
- Lift the door up and out until both hinge arms clear the slots.
- To replace it, seat the indentation of the left hinge arm into the bottom edge of the hinge slot so the notch is fully seated, then repeat on the right.
- Fully open the door. If it will not open fully, an indentation is not seated.
- Push the hinge locks up against the front frame of the oven cavity to the locked position, then close the door.
The door is very heavy. Do not lift it by the handle.
