Breville Toaster Smart Oven Door Spring Issue broken, replacementhelp?

I understand that this isn't one of the ovens in this site, so I get it if you are unable to help, however I have a serious issue in which the toaster oven door sporadically opens because it is like a hair trigger; clearly there is an issue with the door spring. This has caused several unexpected burns, and has been going on for a few months now. We use it daily, and it would mean a lot if I could fix it. I just need to know what steps to get to the spring, and how to replace it; I have located a replacement spring already. Sadly, nothing already posted online can help, so this would be great as I have no money to hire someone to fix it. Thank you!

I'm in the same boat and would love to find some insight on how to replace the spring.

Thanks!!

It sounded like the spring snapped. Now the door barely stays closed.

I just called Breville and they fixed me up with 2 door springs and a crumb tray. Guy was very nice and checkout easy peasy.

Keep the old spring pieces and take them to a good hardware store, they usually have a selection of small springs to choose from. Find one that’s close in length and “stretch”, many of these parts are do not need an EXACT replacement. Love our Breville (we have two bov800’s). Too bad they try to screw you on repairs.

If anyone comes across this and is looking for a spring for the BOV900BSS Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro I found the strangest place that may have it in stock near you locally (Advance Auto Parts) Dorman - Help Extension Spring - Length 5-6 In. and one of the springs in the set worked for me albeit a bit little too much tension (door snaps a bit when closing maybe because its brand new)... Chose to go this route b/c wasn't sure if the spring that they have online for the BOV800 fits the BOV900BSS but it looks like it would.

Thank you for your post. I bought the Dorman selection at Autozone. The 5 spring assortment included a 1/4"x5" light and a 1/4"x5" heavy. Incidentally my Breville is a BOV800, so not the same as yours, and disassembly to access the spring was not the same as any other videos I found online. For example, if I would have needed to completely remove the outer shell (one piece top and sides) I would have needed to remove screws from the back of the control panel. I had enough access so that complete removal of the stainless steel shell was not necessary. The factory spring is smaller in OD than 1/4", and "in between" strength of the 2 Dormans. I chose the lighter, thinking there would be too much stress with the heavier one. I'd like to know which spring you selected, but as your oven is different that likely may be moot.

I did the repair today, but not until I just put a new Breville Air Fryer Pro into service to take its place. Just going to donate this toaster oven to the War Vets.

The part is on back-order from the manufacturer. Have a call into Breville support. Can't operate the oven without the door spring ...technically, can prop something in front of it, but not the point. Very limited part availability.

Called Breville - they DO NOT sell parts to anyone. That includes websites like Fixit.com and others. The only place to get the exact Breville spring for your oven (mine is a B0V800XL) is to send it to the repair center in Torrance, CA. You pay for shipping, both ways, and the repair is not cheap.

If you are able to find a junked Breville, same model as yours, on eBay or Craigs List, then go that route. Otherwise, either pay the big bucks to send it to Breville - Torrance for repair, or buy a new oven for $240.

Sorry for the bad news.

We had the same issue a few years back, the original spring just wore out. If you are somewhat handy, there are self repair guides online to follow, where you remove the side panel and back, as I recall (everything unplugged of course) to access the spring for the door. You can get a spring that is the same length (that's the important part) and install. We got a spring that was a bit fatter in diameter and not as taught. That's a good thing. The original spring was too tight and the door could slam shut. Go to ACE Hardware or Home Depot with the original spring and they will hook you up. Cost, about $2 or so, your time and some finagling to get the spring back in. The new spring we installed has worked perfectly. Good luck!

I had the broken spring problem a few years ago. Went to hardware store with broken parts, found a reasonable match and replaced. Oven has been fine since. A little difficult to get access to spring.

Be careful not to cut yourself on sheet metal edges!

Thanks for the advice. This worked for me! The replacement spring's diameter is larger than the original spring but the tension is similar. I wish there was more tension in the replacement spring because the door closes a little lighter than before, but this is probably the closest you can get.

crwdns2934271:0crwdnd2934271:0crwdne2934271:0

How did you get inside to replace the spring? I removed the screws from the back, but the upper and side plate still doesn't open. I saw a video of someone disassembling - but he removed the feet, and created a mess.

crwdns2934271:0crwdnd2934271:0crwdne2934271:0

I see that I can remove screws from the bottom - but even then the front of the big curved plate that serves as the top and sides of the machine won't budge.

crwdns2934271:0crwdnd2934271:0crwdne2934271:0

Remove the cover by removing two T10 Torx screws on each side, a whole bunch of #1 Phillips head screws around the perimeter on the back, and three recessed #1 Phillips head screws in the gray plastic part on each side on the bottom toward the front. Then the cover slides off to the rear.

Do you know how to get the replacement nut/bolt for the door? My spring is ok but the nut/bolt is wearing out, when I took a picture of it Google seems to think it the guide for rolling down a Chevelle rear quarter window?? Weird, does look similar, no idea the size, I have tried to look at many schematics and I never see this part listed. It is the part that the lever that the door slides up and down on that is connected to the side of the toaster oven. Thank you.
