The Door Hinge is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool refrigerators. As an integral part of the refrigerator door, it provides a rotating mechanism that allows for smooth opening and closing access to the fresh food and freezer compartments.
The hinge contains precisely engineered components including springs, brass pins, and roller bearings that ensure quiet, balanced movement. It helps the door hang securely while accommodating a wide range of opening angles.
Symptoms of a bad hinge include:
- Noisy squeaking or grinding noises coming from hinges
- Difficulty in opening or closing refrigerator doors
- Doors that do not stay in desired positions
- Visual cracks, chips, or other exterior damage to hinges
This Whirlpool OEM hinge replacement will restore reliable door operation. It is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore refrigerator models.
