The Lid Hinge Pin is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines, that connects the machine's lid to its body, allowing for smooth and secure opening and closing. This small part ensures that the washer's lid operates correctly, maintaining proper alignment and function during use.
Over time, lid hinge pins can wear out or become damaged due to excessive force, corrosion, or general wear and tear. This can lead to issues with the lid not closing properly, misalignment, or difficulty in opening or closing the lid.
Symptoms of a bad Lid Hinge Pin include:
- The washer lid not closing or opening smoothly
- Misalignment of the lid when closed
- Excessive play or movement in the lid when it is supposed to be secure
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
