Hi, I’m Rory from eSpares, and in this video I’m going to show you how to replace the
outer door and the door handle in this Zanussi built in oven.
As you can see, the glass in this outer door is smashed; it’s quite a common thing to
happen - you could put your foot through it or you could drop a pan or a tray on it. It
is quite an easy thing to do. But the good news is that it’s easy to replace too.
You won’t need to remove the cooker from its built in cavity, but what you will need
to do is switch the cooker off at the wall. There should be a switch in the general vicinity,
or maybe above or below in one of the units. But yeah, make it’s switched off before
you get to work. Now the first thing I need to is remove the
door from the oven. Like on most cookers, there’s latches on
both hinges, which, when opened fully will allow the door to be removed from the oven
body. Now I’ve got a bit of room to work with,
I need to separate out the two parts of the door. To do this I’ll need to remove these
two screws. I’ll need a Torx head screwdriver to do this; you can buy a Torx set on the
eSpares website. I’m just going to use a Torx bit on the end of a driver.
Now I’m going to attach my new outer door to my existing inner door. There’s two spaces
for screws at the bottom which fix the two together. And at the top it’s held in place
by a crossbar which sits between the two parts of the door, and also holds the handle on
to the door as well. Now obviously, I have a new handle and a new outer door, but I don’t
have a new crossbar, so I’m going to use the crossbar from the old handle. So obviously
I’ll just need to remove these two screws to take the old handle off then also give
it a bit of a clean, get rid of this broken glass.
Ok, now I’m just going to sandwich the outer door between the new handle and the old crossbar,
not forgetting of course to make sure that you’ve got the washers in place.
To attach the two parts of the door, I need to feed this lip, on the inner door, between
the crossbar and the outer door. There we go, now I just need to screw in the
bottom and we’re all good to go. I can now take the protective film off and
put the door back on the oven. When fitting the door back on just make sure
that the gap in the hinge sits on to the notch on the main body of the oven.
Don’t forget to put the latches back in place of course.
There you go. New outer door and door handle fitted to this Zanussi cooker. It’s not
ship shape yet though. A few of these control *** parts need to be replaced; you can see
me do that in another video. Door handles, inner and outer doors and all
door parts for all makes and models of cooker are available on the eSpares website. Thanks
for watching.
