The Hinge is an OEM part designed for Frigidaire dishwashers. It plays an essential role in supporting and controlling the movement of the dishwasher door, allowing it to open and close smoothly. This hinge ensures that the door remains securely in place during operation, which is vital for maintaining the appliance's efficiency and preventing leaks.
Causes of a bad hinge can include wear from repeated use, rust or corrosion due to moisture exposure, or physical damage from accidental force or impact. These issues can affect the hinge's ability to function properly, leading to operational problems.
Symptoms of a bad dishwasher hinge include:
- Difficulty in opening or closing the dishwasher door
- The door not staying open or closed securely
- Uneven or misaligned door movement
This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
