The product, in the report: JOTUL F500 wood burning stove
JOTUL F500 Wood Burning Stove
There are 2 hinges on the right side of the front firebox door, at the top and bottom. The pin which is part of the top hinge, works its way up while opening and closing the door. The pin has to be reseated by lifting the door upward by the handle, on the left side of the door, and then pushed back down once the holes in the hinge are aligned. This is a major safety hazard because should the pin actually pop out, it would be impossible to close the door. Assuming there’s a fire burning in the stove, the potential for a house fire or at least excessive smoke is obvious. In addition, the weight of the door can bend the bottom hinge such that the door will no longer align properly and, thus, not seal, making the stove inefficient.
I have contacted the sales person from whom we purchased the unit as well as the service department. Neither recognized or acknowledged this issue, nor did they express any interest in addressing it.

The product, in the report: Cast Iron wood burning stove
Jotul Wood Stove F3 The cast iron and glass door fell off the stove almost injuring and burning my hand. Upon examining the top hinge socket cracked off the front of stove letting the hinge pin fall out. The bottom hinge is not capable of supporting the entire weight of door. Also noticed the hole was drilled off-center. Poor design, continuous or 3 hinges would work better.
