Upgrade your oven with the genuine Westinghouse POD Series Door Hinge Assembly. This high - quality hinge, part number 85800450010518, is made by Nuova Star and replaces part number 0045001051. The front of the hinge is stamped with 'AJ' and has a recessed mounting hole, while the pivot bracket has a 'D' stamped on one side. Over time, the pivot points on regular hinges can wear out, causing the oven door not to close properly. But this hinge is built to last. It fits many Westinghouse, Chef, and Simpson ovens, including models like 61C810W*03, 61C811W*03, and numerous others. With over 25 years of experience supplying appliance parts to trade and retail, you can buy this hinge with confidence.
Using this oven hinge is straightforward. First, turn off your oven and let it cool completely. Remove the old hinge carefully by following the oven's manual. Then, install the new hinge in its place, making sure it aligns properly with the mounting holes. Once installed, check that the oven door opens and closes smoothly. When it comes to maintenance, keep the hinge clean by wiping it with a dry cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the hinge. If you notice any signs of wear or if the door doesn't close properly again, it might be time to check the hinge for replacement. Always handle the hinge gently during installation and use to ensure its long - term performance.
