I recently removed and replaced my neff oven door after cleaning. About 2 days later it came off whilst cooking, but the hinges appear to have the locking arm on and so I can't get them back into the oven. I have tried pushing hinge back but it just won't budge. What can I do?

You need to lock the hinges to get the door back.
it needs some strength
lay door flat on floor
force hinge against the spring until right back and put the locking arm over. i use my feet for this!

The inner door glass is held on by two clips at the bottom (hinge side) and two slides near the handle side. Remove the door from the oven and lie it the worktop flat with the hinges uppermost. Near the hinges you will see the glass is angles leaving a triangle of metal frame either side near the hinges.Rest the outside of your hand on the metal for purchase and then pull on the glass along the bottom edge (reasonable tug required) this will disengage the bottom clips and then slide the glass down about an inch to remove completely.
Remove the oven door by flipping the hinge catches into their alternative position and lift the door out of the hinge slots (note it is somewhat heavy). Lie the door, outside face down and press down on the glass with both hands until it slides off the mounting pins at the base of the door body. Replacement is an exact reversal.
Either the seals need to be replaced, or you may have weak oven door hinges, and the door is not closing properly.
Only solution would be to replace both hinges if this is the case.

Thankyou.
Yep, sounds like the hinges/springs have been overloaded.
Dont know if it's a Neff problem in particular, but I had a Neff oven with exactly the same problem - it was already installed when I bought my house.
Spoke to Neff who advised this ocours if heavy things like a roasting tray with a heavy bird / joint in it is rested on the door whilst it's open.
Only cure is new spring/hinge units which are not cheap !
my door does not close properly
