The door hinge broke on our whirlpool duet steam front load washing machine

Watched a video provided by AppiancePartsPros.com.. Got my #20 torx screwdriver from garage and followed the instructions provided on the video. Less than 2 months ago I had a service repairman to fix my dryer. After paying $90. for a service call and $149.95 for labor, I told my wife-- never again---unless I become disabled and not physically able to do my own work. The dryer belt and pulley replacement were more complicated than the door hinge, but I believe if I had watched an instruction video that you provide, I could have done the job myself. Thanks!!!
