How to Troubleshoot & Replace Frigidaire AP3886714 / 134550800 Washer Door Hinge

Simple process of removing old parts and replacing the new parts. you will need someone's help to hold up the washer door when screwing up the hinge back on to the machine. the hinge needs to be attached to the door first and then screw up the door to the machine. Very simple to do, 10 minutes to complete thanks 

Removed the door at the hinge (3 screws). Removed the screws on the inside of the door holding the three sections together. Found one pin on the hinge broke OFF. Ordered parts. Arrived in 2 days. Re-assembled door and hung. 

Removed the door, took it apart, found that the hinge and "chrome" plastic door panel had broken parts. The new parts arrived very quickly (thank you!) and it took about 15 minutes to put door back together and start a load of laundry! 

I've had a sagging door on my washer forever. Decided to fix it when I replaced the drive belt. Ordered the $75 part which is very easy to replace. Unfortunately when I took the door apart I realized that not only did the door hinge need to be replaced but also the very small and fragile plastic tabs on the washer door outer trim had broken off. Without those plastic tabs there is nothing to hold the door hinge in the proper position to fix the sagging door. I ordered the washer door outer trim (a $280 item) and waiting to receive it to fix the washer, I hope. With new belt, shock absorbers, door latch lock switch, door hinge and outer door trim I'm just about $500 in parts into a over 10 year old washer. I'm starting to wonder if that wouldn't have been better spent towards a new washing machine. 

Unscrew the door's inside cover, and I took off the other parts, then I cleaned all of them, then carefully I ensembled back now with the new piece I screwed it again, and at the last I screwed the door to the machine. 

Ordered new door latch and door hinge. Arrived within 1 day, amazing. Watched the video and thought it would be an easy fix. Problems encountered - Needed to use an impact driver on the hinge screws to get them to come out. Hinge screws were frozen. The driver made easy work of it after liberal application of WD-40,. Add that to your video. Once the door was removed there was an issue with the rusted Phillips head by the door handle. Back to the impact driver and WD-40. With that removed I discovered the door hinge is held in place by two plastic tabs on the door that were broke off. That's the reason door was sagging, not the hinge itself. Placed several washers in the hinge pocket to take up the slack and bolted it all back up. Leveled the machine and still have an issue with the door latch lining up with the latch receptacle. Problem is the tabs on the door frame itself. Bad design and designed to fail. Typical. Thanks for the exceptionally timely delivery! 

I was an easy repair. I only needed a screw driver to remove all screws from the door, hinge and striker. The hardest part was pulling the machine out of the space I had designed to hold it. 

I had to replace the two plastic outer frames and the hinge assembly. It was no problem to fix but such a bummer that it had broken in the same way- twice. The glass window is so heavy- too heavy for the internal plastic parts. My family drys their own laundry- kids included so I’m afraid this machine requires a gentler touch. Does a good job washing though! 

When the new part came I just put it on , took the door lock assembly apart to retrieve the piece of broken latch and re-assembled it , everything works grest, real easy fix!& 

No problem replacing the hinge. Requires nothing more than a screwdriver and proper bits. Thank you appliancepartspro for unbelievable easy and fast service. Broke on Friday, part delivered and installed on Saturday. WOW!
