The GAP-HINGE is an OEM component for Whirlpool brand refrigerators. It is designed to fill the space between the refrigerator door and cabinetry, creating a flush fit. The hinge allows the door to open and close smoothly while preventing air and moisture leaks around the door frame. 

Symptoms of a bad gap hinge include:

• Gaps around the refrigerator door letting hot or humid air enter the refrigerator interior
• Increased energy costs from lack of insulation due to air gaps  
• Buildup of moisture on internal surfaces from improper sealing
• Difficulty opening or closing the refrigerator door smoothly

Causes can include normal wear over time, or damage from repeated opening and closing of the door putting stress on the hinge. 

This OEM Whirlpool replacement part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore brands.

A replacement center hinge pin that secures the refrigerator door at the center hinge assembly to restore proper pivoting and alignment. Use this pin to correct door sag or uneven closing caused by a worn or bent hinge pin. What it does

• Secures the door to the center hinge so the door can pivot smoothly.
• Restores proper door alignment and helps the door seat evenly against the cabinet.
• Commonly used to address door sag, rubbing, uneven gaps, or difficulty closing.
• Works as a direct replacement for the center hinge pivot in the hinge assembly.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical hazards.
• Support the door and follow the appliance manufacturer's hinge removal steps before removing or installing the pin.
• Inspect surrounding hinge components (bushings, brackets) for wear while replacing the pin; replace as needed.

This hinge center assembly connects and supports the refrigerator door hinge, restoring proper door alignment and smoother opening. Use it when the door is sagging or not closing securely to improve sealing and operation. What it does:

• Provides the central pivot point for the door hinge and helps keep the door aligned.
• Restores smooth opening/closing when a cracked, bent, or worn hinge causes binding or grinding.
• Helps correct door sag and poor sealing that can lead to uneven temperatures or drafts.
• Secures the hinge pin and attaches the door hinge to the cabinet in the center hinge location.

• Remove any hinge covers or trim as needed; transfer existing hinge hardware unless the replacement includes it.
• Reassemble carefully, align the door, and tighten fasteners securely without over-torquing.

The Hinge Bushing is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool refrigerator doors. It is a circular bearing and support component that promotes smooth door swinging. The bushing fits within hinges to reduce friction and prevent premature wear.  

Causes of compromised hinge bushings can be years of door opening compressing the bushing material. Exposure to moisture also contributes to cracked, pitted or damaged bushings failing to guide doors effortlessly.

Symptoms of failing hinge bushings include:

• Stiff or resistant door movement requiring extra effort  
• Noisy hinges or grinding sounds due to metal-on-metal contact
• Misaligned or sagging doors unable to fully latch or seal
• Premature wear of connecting hinge parts forcing early replacement

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
