My Kenmore oven door won't close completely. It's a gas model 665.72012104

If I pull up on it when I close it - it seems to shut all the way but when I let go of it - it slips back down and open slightly.

After 2 -3 years of holding it shut with a bungie cord the wife is on my a$$ to fix it.

I'm thinking (always dangerous I know) that it is similar to [url=http://applianceguru.com/forum1/18023.html]this problem[/url]. My door comes off the exact same way and the hinges look very similar.

I would hate to order new hinges (and maybe receivers) and have them be the old design if a new design replacement kit is available.

I tried repairclinic.com for my model and they don't show a hinge replacement kit.

Here are the hinges from repair clinic. I did not see an updated part number in my research

Will those parts come with instructions?

If not - any help would be appreciated. It looks like replacing the springs could be hazardous.
