Roger for Model Number WM2688HWM Ok, I just replaced the hinge on my washer and it now leaks from the front door. If you look at the door, the right side is much tighter than the left side. As the washer is in operation, it begins to leak and the only way to stop it is by pushing in the left side of the door, hinge side. The hinge is pushing the door away from the seal causing the leak. Again, if I push the hinge side in the leak stops, but the tension of the hinge pushes the door away from the seal. Is there an adjustment for the hinge? Any help will be appreciated.
Answer Roger, you may want to check the hinge assembly from the inside of the panel to ensure that it is mounted firmly in place and that the hinge portion itself is able to rotate inwards completely. If the hinge is unable to rotate inwards properly, this will cause tension and not allow the door to seat properly. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, April 3, 2019
