Door would not close all the way
Simply removed door with screw driver. Cleaned glass while apart and installed new hinges . Parts were delivered on time and fit perfect. I would recommend this company to everyone

Bent oven door hinges
The owners manual described the door removal. The removal requires door pins to de-tension the springs. I did not have them, but the manual sugested using hex wrenches which worked fine. Once the door was removed, it could be dissassembled, and the springs replaced.

Oven door was not closing completely.
Removed the oven door from the oven using the KitchenAid supplied tool to hold the spring in position. There was a hole at the bottom of the hinge and if you insert this KA tool it would keep the hinge from closing completely which allowed you to pull the door away from the oven. Removed the 4 screws that held the front (glass cover)
... Read more from inside part of the oven door. Used the pliers to pull the hinge back to remove the KA tool and then unscrewed the 2 screws holding the hinge in place. Did the same on the other side. Installed the hinge into place and re-installed the glass front of the oven door. Place the oven door into the oven and when you open the door completely (down) the 2 holding pins are removed - similar to the KA tool.
Took about 30 minutes from start to finish. Used the parts list (found online) to see what screws I had to unscrew.
Searched online found PartSelect had good price, confirmed over the phone that the hinges were not a set (needed 2). Completed order online and part delivered in 2 days. Have used PartSelect twice for me oven. The Kitchenaid oven is another story - horrible - thank goodness for PartSelect.

Multiple sets of part WP4455526 hinges have been replaced on my oven. They last less than 6 months. Do additional parts, the part that receives the hinge, need to be replaced?
For model number KEMS307GBS
Hi Duncan,
Thank you for your question. The only parts that you should need would be the hinges. If they are only lasting a short period of time, they may be under warranty with the company you bought them from and you will need to check with them to see if they can replace them for you. If you ordered the part through us, please contact us either by email at customerservice@partselect.com, by visiting our live chat sessions, Monday to Friday from 8AM to 4PM EST or by calling our customer service line at 1-888-738-4871 and anyone would be happy to assist you. Please provide your model and serial numbers from your oven, so we may process the warranty refund for you. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
