The lid hinge on your washer is connected to the lid and allows it to open and close. If you find you cannot open or close the lid to your washing machine properly, you may need to replace the lid hinge. This lid hinge is an inch and a half long, all white in color, and it is made entirely of plastic. To complete this repair, you will need a Phillips screwdriver and a putty knife to remove the top of the washer, in order to access the screws that hold the lid hinge in place. Be sure to disconnect the power to the washing machine before beginning this repair.
This lid hinge pin allows a washing machine lid to pivot open and closed properly. The hinge pin may need to be replaced if the lid will not open or will not close.

This lid hinge pin is just over an inch long, is sold individually, and does not include the mounting screw (consider ordering mounting screw if it rusted or stripped).
