Is replacing the door hinges & springs on a oven worth it?#
On a newer or premium oven, replacing the door hinges & springs is worth it — $100 to $200 is well under the $650 to $3,000 a new one costs, and a unit from Wolf or Thermador is worth keeping in service. With dinner and holiday cooking on hold, a scheduled repair beats limping along or shopping in a hurry. The job stops making sense only on a basic unit past about 10 years, where the repair starts to rival the price of a replacement and other parts are wearing out too.
