yep new hinges. have someone give you a hand cause the door is suprisingly heavy for one person.

Yes, the door is heavy. If you can't get help (or even if you can) the scissor jack works well for moving the door vertically in a controlled fashion as you install the hinge. You can put a rag between the jack and door to keep from scratching it.

When you have some time to order parts, you will want to find a discount source that works for you. $50 for a hinge seems a bit rich.

There are also specific instructions on this Forum about how to change out the hinge. You might want to check out the Technical Library or just search on "door hinge replace" and see what you can find. This is a commonly done job. Chances are that your heater fan doesn't have all it's speeds, either. That's another common and easily fixed problem.
