Broken hinge on washer

I purchased a replacement hinge. It was relatively easy to replace. I watched a number of videos on how to disassembly the top and access the screws holding the hinge. While none were the exact same model, it was fairly straightforward to disassemble and swap the new hinge.

Dale T Glenburn , ME August 18, 2023

Appliance: LG Washer WT1501CW

Water inlet valve was leaking so water trickled constantly into top loading LG washer and one hinge of top cover/door was broken preventing slow motion closure.

Checked for LG replacement parts online and water inlet valve was out of stock at all of them. AppliancePartsPros.com had the best prices by far, so we ordered. We expected a long wait on the out-of-stock item, but it arrived one week later! My husband replaced both parts in minutes! Easy!! The hardest part was pulling the washer out to reach the back and pushing it back into place. We're very pleased.
