Kenmore Elite Washer Hinge Parts

The Door Hinge is an OEM part for LG dryers. This hinge supports the dryer door, allowing it to open and close smoothly and securely. It ensures that the door stays aligned and functions properly, providing reliable access to the dryer drum for loading and unloading clothes.

Causes of a bad door hinge can include frequent use leading to wear and tear, physical damage from forceful opening or closing, and rust or corrosion due to exposure to moisture.

Symptoms of a bad door hinge include:

• Difficulty in opening or closing the dryer door
• The door not staying aligned or becoming loose
• Squeaking or grinding noises when moving the door
• Visible damage, bending, or rust on the hinge

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

This door latch assembly secures the appliance door closed so cycles can start and run safely. A worn or damaged latch can prevent the door from locking, stopping the unit from operating or causing it to pause mid-cycle.

• Engages with the door strike to keep the door closed and locked during operation
• Faulty latches can lead to the door not locking, cycle not starting, or errors indicating an open door
• Also cause intermittent stopping if the latch doesn't stay engaged

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Handle wiring connectors carefully; note their positions for reassembly
• Align the latch with mounting points and tighten fasteners securely
• Test door closure and operation before returning to service
