This door hinge secures and guides a refrigerator door, restoring smooth opening and proper alignment to reduce rubbing or sagging. It's a direct-fit replacement when the original hinge is bent, worn, or damaged. What it does

• Supports the door's weight and keeps it aligned on the cabinet
• Guides the door during opening and closing to prevent binding
• Helps maintain a proper seal by holding door position steady
• Common symptom: door that sags, rubs on the cabinet, or doesn't close evenly

• Installation typically requires removing the door and using basic hand tools
• Support the door while replacing the hinge to avoid damage or injury
• Inspect mounting screws and surrounding door/frame for wear; replace any damaged fasteners
• Disconnect power to any affected appliance components before working in proximity to electrical parts

A factory fastener used to secure appliance components and panels. Replacing a missing, rusted, or stripped screw restores a solid, rattle-free fit and helps keep brackets, housings, and covers properly aligned for reliable operation.

• Fastens and holds panels, brackets, or internal components in place
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce vibration or rattling noises
• Direct replacement for a lost, corroded, stripped, or damaged fastener
• Restores proper fit when a component has loosened over time

• Unplug the appliance; also shut off gas and/or water supplies before servicing
• Match to the original screw and start threading by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver bit and tighten snugly—do not overtighten
• If multiple screws secure a part, start all screws before fully tightening to ensure even seating

The Hinge Washer is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This part ensures smooth opening and closing by reducing friction between the door hinge and the refrigerator body.

Causes of a bad hinge washer can include normal wear and tear from frequent use, accumulation of dirt or debris, and exposure to moisture, which can lead to rust and corrosion.  

Symptoms of a bad hinge washer include:

• Difficulty in opening or closing the refrigerator door
• A door that does not stay in place
• Squeaking or grinding noises when the door is moved
• Visible wear or deformation on the washer

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This washer is a small hardware spacer used in appliance assemblies to distribute load and maintain proper spacing under a fastener or rotating component. Replacing a worn or missing washer helps restore alignment, reduce noise, and keep parts secure.

• Distributes fastener load to protect mating surfaces
• Maintains spacing/alignment between components
• Can act as a thrust surface to reduce friction and wear
• Typical symptoms: looseness or wobble, scraping/squeaking noises, or parts that won't stay tight

• Disconnect power; shut off gas and/or water as applicable
• Note the order/orientation of washers, spacers, and clips during disassembly; take a photo for reference
• Inspect related parts (retainers, bushings) and replace if worn
• Tighten fasteners per manufacturer guidance; avoid overtightening and verify smooth operation after reassembly

This shim-hinge is a small replacement spacer used with the door hinge assembly to correct door fit and alignment. It helps restore an even gap and proper door seating for reliable closing and heat containment. What it does:

• Provides precise spacing on the hinge to correct a misaligned or uneven door
• Helps eliminate door sag, binding, or uneven gaps that prevent full closure
• Restores proper door seal alignment for consistent cooking or refrigeration performance
• Works as part of the hinge assembly to maintain correct door geometry

• Disconnect power or gas supply and support the door before removing hinge components
• Remove the hinge/door per the appliance's OEM instructions; install shim in the same orientation shown in the parts diagram
• Use basic hand tools; avoid forcing parts—confirm fit before reassembling

This hinge pin secures and guides a refrigerator/oven door hinge so the door opens and closes smoothly and stays aligned. Replaces a worn or broken pin to reduce sagging, catching, or noisy hinge movement. What it does:

• Provides a pivot point for the door hinge to rotate cleanly
• Restores proper door alignment and helps maintain an airtight seal
• Stops door sag, rubbing, or sticking during opening and closing
• Eliminates clicking or grinding noises caused by a damaged pin

• Always unplug the appliance (or shut off gas/electric supply) before beginning service
• Support the door while removing or installing the hinge pin to prevent injury or damage
• Use basic hand tools; do not force the pin if it resists—inspect hinge components for wear

This replacement door hinge secures the appliance door to the cabinet and provides a reliable pivot for smooth opening and closing. It restores proper door alignment and helps maintain a tight seal for optimal performance. What it does:

• Replaces a worn, bent, or broken hinge to stop door sagging and misalignment
• Restores proper door pivoting so the door opens and closes smoothly
• Helps correct gaps that can cause poor sealing or temperature issues
• Can reduce stress on latch and gasket by returning the door to correct alignment

• One door hinge

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning service
• Support the door while removing hinge fasteners to prevent dropping or damage
• Use appropriate hand tools; inspect mounting screws and strike plates and replace if damaged
• After installation, check door alignment and adjust as needed for a snug, even seal

An adjustable leveler that supports and raises or lowers the appliance to help stabilize it on uneven floors. Restores proper alignment to reduce rocking, vibration, and door misalignment for improved performance and safety. What it does:

• Provides height adjustment to level the cabinet and prevent rocking
• Helps doors close and seal correctly by correcting leaning or unevenness
• Reduces vibration and movement that can cause noise or wear
• Simple turn-to-adjust design for fine tuning appliance position

• Unplug the appliance (and shut off water supply for units with plumbing) before working nearby
• Support the appliance when adjusting so it does not tip; use a helper or appliance dolly as needed
• Turn the leveler by hand or with a wrench; adjust both front/back or left/right sides evenly and re-check with a level

A small retainer clip that secures panels, hoses or wiring to keep components in place and reduce noise from loose parts. Replacing a worn or broken clip restores proper fit and helps prevent intermittent contact or rattling. What it does

• Secures trim, panels, hoses or wire harnesses to mounting points to prevent movement.
• Keeps components aligned so switches and seals engage correctly.
• Stops rattling or vibrating noises caused by loose parts.
• Helps prevent abrasion or chafing of wires and hoses by holding them away from edges.

• Install by snapping or sliding the clip into the factory mounting slot; use needle-nose pliers if needed.
• Power off and unplug the appliance before accessing internal parts.
• Inspect surrounding mounts and mating tabs for damage; replace if worn for a secure fit.
• If removal is difficult, apply a small amount of penetrating lubricant and work carefully to avoid breaking adjacent plastic.
