A hinge assembly for mounting a door to the body of a household appliance, comprising:

• a door-mounting bracket for mounting to the door;
• a hinge pin for pivoting the door about an axis between a closed position, a first open position near the closed position, and a second open position;
• a body-mounting bracket for mounting to the body;
• an abutment on the body-mounting bracket;
• a stay bar having first and second elongate surfaces extending between opposing first and second ends of the stay bar, the first end being pivotally connected to the door-mounting bracket, at least one detent recess in the second surface proximate the first end, and a stop face projecting from the first surface proximate the second end;
• and
• a spring mounted to the body-mounting bracket, the spring having an arm slidingly and resiliently engaging the first surface to apply a torque to the stay bar to urge the second surface into engagement with the abutment, wherein
• the arm cooperates with the abutment to urge the door, in the closed position, toward the closed position
• the abutment is received in the at least one detent recess to hold the door in the first open position, and
• the arm contacts the stop face to support the door in the second open position.
