How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6017115 / WPW10208415 Washer Dryer Door Hinge

I ordered the new hinge and the cap they said would be needed, took the door apart and installed new hinge. Only problem, wish they told me I needed 4 of the caps, for one hinge and each cap was 11.95 x 4...pretty spendy. Fortunately I was able to reuse 3 of my worn ones for now. 

Initially, I thought the problem was the plastic bushings so I ordered 4 new ones. When I took the door off, I discovered that the outer pins were broken off the cast aluminum door hinge. I then ordered the replacement hinge. It arrived the next day with the middle-class shipping rate. The fix went very well. I used the new plastic bushings and a new hinge. So the problem was fixed for less than $175. The plastic bushings seem way overpriced given the amount of plastic that is used but it's still cheaper than a new washer. I kept the old bushings as a potential replacement if needed. The videos provided by appliancepartspros.com were very helpful. The entire replacement took 30-40 minutes. Tip: make sure that you pay attention to where the different size screws go. I inadvertently mixed one and it took another 5-10 minutes to get it out of the larger hole and replace it with the proper size. 

Researched issue online and found part and repair video on AppliancePartsPro.com. Amazingly easy part to replace. Followed video and in less than 30 minutes we were back in business. And the best part, I received the part the next day after I ordered it and didn't have to pay exorbitant shipping costs. 

Replaced broken hinge with new hinge. The door had to be removed from the dryer and the back removed from the door. once the old broken hinge was removed the new hinge was put in its place. The back had to be put back in place then the dryer door fastened back to the dryer. The new hinge solved the problem with the door not opening properly. No more problems with the dryer. 

My dryer door was on it's last leg and last week it finally completely fell off. I had no clue what I was going to do. I have family coming in for the holidays and I NEED my washer/dryer to work. After looking at new dryers, which was just not an option at this time, I started researching how to actually fix the door because it looked like the hinge had broken off and to replace it may have been just the fix. I went to Youtube and found a guy who had the exact same dryer and issue with the door completely falling off. I watched the video, ordered the parts and then I fixed it myself! It wasn't the easiest thing putting it all back together. Be patient and take your time. I did buy 4 pin bushings, which I didn't need, I am keeping them, just in case. My washer uses the same hinge and bushings so I may be able to use this later! Not that it matters, but I'm a woman, who just likes to try to solve my own issues, and I did it! You can too!!! 

The parts I ordered came within 2 days with the normal shipping. Really impressive. The parts were exactly what I needed to repair the door. OEM parts fit perfectly, not off brand replacements. The expanded view drawings on your website made selecting the correct parts easy. NO video for this repair, but I have purchased other parts were you had a repair video that is very helpful. 

Replaced several hinge parts. 

I replaced the hinge by removing and replacing it like the supplied video shows. I had had the door apart previously to try and fix the sagging hinge (which at the time I thought was just bent). When the hinge finally broke I discovered that it had been cracked before and that was what was causing the sagging door. Replacing the hinge took 5-10 minutes with a power driver since I had experience taking the door apart before. Simple repair and wish I had done it when the door was just sagging a long time ago. 

Simple unscrew the old one, and install the new one! These guys usually have everything I have needed and quick shipping. I recommend them highly!
