A hinge assembly for an oven or range that allows a door to be attached to the cooking chamber, locked in place and removed as desired. The hinge assembly includes a hanger mounted to the door and a locking arm mounted to the hanger. The oven or range chamber has at least one pin for receiving a channel on the hanger. When the locking arm is pivoted to an unlocked position with the hanger channel open, the hanger can receive or disengage the pin. When the locking arm is pivoted to an unlocked position with the hanger channel closed, the pin is trapped and the door is secured to the cooking chamber.

Oven and range door lock mechanism

The invention is an oven door construction and assembly in which the oven door construction and its part count are greatly reduced and simplified as is the method of assembly in the door. The door is assembled by placing interior door elements on an inner liner and using the hinges of the door to compressively mount the interior door elements to the liner to thereby eliminate a great number of fasteners typically used in this type of door construction.

Oven door and method of assembly therefor

A burner support arrangement for a domestic stove having a platform with apertures for receiving two burner tubes, and raised rails extending between the apertures and a central igniter. Snap on covers form igniter tubes with the raised rails. A support clip clasps the burner tubes and supports the burner tubes above the platform.

Ignition cover and venturi mounting clip

A cooktop mounting assembly is set forth which utilizes a unitary ring member for supporting the periphery of a glass-ceramic panel as well as a method for assembling the same.
