RBD245PDB9 Whirlpool Wall Oven - Instructions

Turned the circuit breaker off, removed trim and the oven screws, pulled oven out, and placed on a stand in front. Electrical cord was just long enough without disconnecting. Removed the back panel, installed the old thermostat with the new one the same way. Used the same phillips screwdriver for the operation. Installed the oven using reverse order. Turn circuit breaker on, back in business. Prior comments definitely helped me a lot. Thanks.

When the oven is installed, there are two pins on the replacement hinges that are removed. If you were like me, you tossed these pins so you need to take a large nail and cut a 3/8" of material to replace these pins. This will allow the door to be removed when you open it half way. This is the most difficult part of the repair since you need to carefully pull the door off and a precise angle with an upward pull from the bottom. You will notice the new hinges have these pins so you can also try to get some new pins at a hardwire store that are similar. Next, you need to careful set the oven door down on a smooth work area and remove all of the philip head screws. The front of the door will be remove from the inside door piece by slipping it up a little when the screws are removed. The two screws that are on the inside panel hold the hinges. Take note of how you remove these since you will do just the reverse in putting in the new hinges. It would be a good idea to take the glass section off and clean it if you want to take on the extra challenge but you need to be very careful not to break these and that you put them back that same way it was removed. Now that you have it all put back together, you simply install the door back the way it was removed and then you can open it all of the way down to remove the pins in the hinges. Now would be a good time to put these pins in a save place with the rest of your paperwork for any further removal.
