Hugh for Model Number WM2487HRM The right side of the door closes easily and firmly. The left side of the door when closed has about 1/2 inch of front to back "play" in it. By this, I mean when the door is closed I can push on the door and it will move. There is a small amount of water that leaks down the front of the washer at the center point of the door. How much "play" should there be in a hinge that is not worn out? Will replacing the hinge solve the leaking problem. FYI, I have already changed the rubber gasket, so I know the gasket is not worn or damaged.
Answer Hugh, if the springs of the door hinge 4775ER2002A are not worn, the door assembly 3581ER1012A would need to be inspected for any worn or damaged hinge mount sections as there should not be that much play. The hinge mounting screws would also need to be checked to ensure they are properly tightened. Unfortunately, if a failure is found with the hinge or door, both parts have been discontinued by the manufacturer and are no longer available. Read More...
