This door hinge is a genuine OEM replacement part that is made to fit various front-load washing machines. It is a high-quality replacement that is guaranteed to fit with your model. The door hinge connects the door of the washing machine to the main body of the appliance, allowing the door to open and close smoothly. If the washer door hinge is damaged or no longer securely attached, you will likely have difficulty opening or closing the door. You may also notice excessive movement in the hinge mechanism, and misalignment of the door when closing. You may also notice that the washer door cannot stay closed properly while the washer is running.

Door latch module was defective

This model is a front-loading washer. The spring loaded retainer for the front of the boot must be removed, then the boot can moved to the side exposing the module. Remove the two screws holding the model, pull the model out, remove the three electrical plugs, then reverse this procedure to install new module.

Broken Strike on Washer Door - prevented door from latching, and washer would not start

The end of the strike had broken off, and the pictures did not clearly show there was a cross-member at the end of the strike. That crossmember is what broke on the old strike. The strike has only two screws, both requiring a Torx bit (#20, I believe). Unscrew both screws to remove the strike plate. It was a little difficult to get out - it has a curved top to lock into the top slot, but the bottom slides slightly down into another slot. There isn't a lot of room in the opening to slide the strike up and down and get it out. Putting the new strike on is easier - ensure the curved end fits into the slot at the top and slide it up just a bit, push the bottom of the strike plate in, then let it drop right into place, and reinsert the screws. The only problem I had was the strike's holes for the screws are slotted horizontally, so the strike can be positioned across almost 3/8". The latch would not engage the strike the first time, so I had to loosen the screws and reposition the strike a bit. This time it latched, but the fit wasn't quite right, so I adjusted it again to get it where I needed it.
