This is a door hinge, which allows for your washer door to properly shut during the washing cycle, and open after it is finished. If your door hinge is bent or broken and not allowing the door to shut properly, this hinge needs to be replaced immediately. Replacing this hinge will require a screwdriver to remove and install. This door hinge is an OEM part made of durable metal, and does not come with any other parts, like the necessary securing screws or install bracket.

Customer Repair Stories

Pins broken off hinge

So I was unable to get my model number so I took the hinge off the washer and was able to order the part. Before removing the hinge I used a marker and marked the hinge location on the washer. Once I got the part I removed the T15 screws on the inside part of the door and separate the pieces. I was able to remove the white tube for all 4 of the pins and put them on the hinge. I installed the hinge an then i put the front door pieces back together again while it was laying on the floor. I though I put it in wrong but I was correct. Once i had the hinge on the door and the door reassembled, I was able to attached the hinge to the washer. The hinge comes off the washer by pushing up on it and to reinstall you push down. I tighten the 4 T25 screws using the marks on the washer and the door is alligned correctly. I am able to close the washer door with one finger instead of my whole hand.

One of the hinges broke, making the door sag

Using the Torx Screwdriver, we removed the door from the unit. Then we removed all of the screws on the inside of the washer door. After that we flipped it over and opened it up exposing the inside. We couldn't separate them entirely because there was a screw under the latch piece that we couldn't figure out how to get to. However with all the screws out on the inside of the door, we did have enough room to open it up and access the place cover that holds the hinges in. Once we accessed that we removed the roller tips from the old unit and placed them on the new one. Then we reversed the process. With a couple screws in we realized we had put the hinge in reversed from what it needed to be, so we reopened it and switched it around. Then completed replacing all the screws and reattached it to the washer. It opens and closes perfectly and we saved a couple hundred dollars for sure, as the quote to come out had been a $150 trip charge.

This is a dryer door hinge cap, also known as a bushing, which is a durable plastic cap that is installed on the door hinge and is used to allow your dryer door to operate smoothly when opening and closing. If the door for your dryer is not properly opening and closing, this cap needs to be replaced immediately. To replace this door hinge bushing, you will need a screwdriver to remove and disassemble the door for your dryer. This door hinge bushing is sold individually, but normally wears at the same rate as the others within your dryer door, so order as many as are needed.
