The Whirlpool WP74010284 Range Door Hinge is the smooth execution of your oven door. This metal part secures the oven door to the range frame by serving as the anchor point. However, the hinge is more than just a hook since it has an ingenious internal mechanism. It provides tension to adjust the opening speed and hold the door securely at different angles, allowing the door to swing widely in both directions. By doing this, the door won't swing out or bang shut. By using this deliberate movement, you can prevent unintentional harm to your hands and fingers. Furthermore, the hinge is essential to preserving an adequate seal between the oven chamber and the door.
