JB553GM1 General Electric Range - Instructions

Pulled oven door up and off. Removed old hinge and installed new hinge. Replaced oven door. It was a very simple job. The whole project took less than 15 minutes.

Removed the oven door. Released spring on hinge. Removed 3 screws. Removed broken hinge and replaced new hinge reversing these steps.

I really can't add much more to the very good instructions already posted. You will need a flashlight to see the spring -- when connected it stands vertical with one end connected to the hinge. There are 3 holes you can connect to -- I used the middle one, #2. The other end of the spring is anchored to a hole/slot in the stove frame. It is very easy to position this spring. Be careful though, there's a lot of sharp sheet metal in there. You will need a phillips head screwdriver to remove/install 3 sheet metal screws that fasten the hinge to the stove.

Slid door off hinges. Removed 3 screws which hold hinge in place. Removed drawer to access spring for hinge. Gasped at all the crumbs and crap which had collected underneath the drawer. Cleaned up crumbs+crap from floor. Disconnected spring from hinge and removed old hinge completely. Installed new hinge with 3 screws. Attached spring to hinge - center hole fitting. Slid drawer back in place. Angled hinges outward in order to re-install door. Slid door back onto hinges. Door now operates nice and smoothly. Job well done.

Pulled the three screws off unhooked the spring then removed the hinge. attached the the new hinge to the spring put the screws back in slid door back on took less than 15 minutes.

The left door hinge was broken. There are three screws that hold the hinge. It is very easy to take it out and put the replacement in

After reading other stories, I knew enough to slide the lower drawer out and take off the spring. 30 second job. I did not realize that range doors slide vertically off the hinge, did that in about 2 mins. Put the new hinge on in 2 mins (3 Screws). Slid the door back on and done. Works like a champ. My wife has her eye on new stainless appliances. Sadly, she'll have to wait a while longer.

First I removed the oven door from the support hinges. Next I pulled the bottom pan drawer out to get to the tension spring. I released the tension from the hinge, unscrewed three screws that held the hinge in place. From there I replaced the hinge put all components back in place and did it all under 20 mins. The part was received with in 3 days from PartSelect so I was very satisisfied with the service and ease of repair.

I removed the door by pulling up and away from the hinges. I then removed the drawer. I unhooked the tension spring by hand and noted the opening. I then removed the three screws on the hinge assembly, removed the ole part, and replaced it with the new one. I replaced the tension spring and slid the door back on to the hinges. I did it all in less than 10 minutes.

The plastic wheel glide that the hinge runs back and forth on was worn off on one side so it was grinding and binding.
Remove storage drawer from under oven. Open the door to the special catch position and carefully lift door off the hinges - (not by the handle, hold onto both sides).
Take out three screws w/ a hex head nut driver, slip the hinge down into the hole, look under drawer area w/ flashlight and carefully unhook spring, while holding onto spring- pull old hinge out, see which hole has wear (that's the one you want to use of the three), insert new hinge all the way in and hook up spring. Pull hinge out and line up front plate w/ holes, insert 3 screws snugly. Done, awesome probably saved a 200.00 visit from the appliance guy. My husband thinks I'm amazing!

it was hard to figure out the instructions from A switch to B switch to my switch. The first switch was no good the second one was good. prayer book didn't hurt.thank

replaced both hinges in no time flat and it was easy to find the part and instructions on parts select. Thank you

Well after fighting with the door for a month, i went on this site and using their information, i found the model number (in the process i found the receipt for the oven and found out it was 20 years old still looks and works like new. Pulled the door up and off the hinges, removed the drawer, saw the spring was in the middle hole, removed three screws pulled out old hinge. Installed new hinge, 3 screws and the spring. put the door back on and wow it worked! Thanks!

I flipped breaker off for electic and confirmed that power to the stove was off. I removed the 2 screws holding the control unit in place. Carefully removed all knobs and buttons and pryed the cover for the control unit off. I then removed old part, removed the wired and clipped wires to the new unit. Put cover back on - has some difficulty getting the panel back in place to line up the screws. But after a couple of attempts, was able to line up unit and put screws in place to secure. Replaced all knobs. Turn breaker back on and cooked lunch. Very easy job. Most difficult part was getting panel back in position. I would watch alignment more carefully before I removed in next time. Easy home repair for Women...not sure about my man?

Very easy job. Removed the 3 screws from the oven body, and slid the hinge out of the door. Slid in the new hinge, replaced the screws, and it was done. Very easy, wish I had done it sooner. Finding the part was easy, using the parts diagram. Rep was nice and confirmed the right part. Shipping was fast, and price was reasonable.
