The Lid Hinge is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It connects the lid to the washing machine body, allowing the lid to open and close smoothly. This hinge ensures the lid remains securely attached while providing the necessary movement for easy access to the washer drum.
Common causes of a bad lid hinge include repeated use over time, accidental impact, or corrosion from exposure to moisture. These factors can cause the hinge to become loose, stiff, or broken.
Symptoms of a bad Lid Hinge include:
- Difficulty opening or closing the lid
- The lid not staying open or falling shut unexpectedly
- Unusual noises when moving the lid
- Visible damage or rust on the hinge
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
