Maytag Refrigerator Hinge Parts

The Hinge-Door is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. The refrigerator door hinge is a crucial component that allows the door to properly open and close while securely holding it in place. These hinges are responsible for smooth and reliable door operation through thousands of openings and closings. 

Causes of a bad hinge can include wear and tear from prolonged use, stress from overloading the door, or accidental impact damage. 

Symptoms of a bad hinge include:

• The door not closing properly or staying fully shut  
• Difficulty or resistance when opening/closing the door
• The door sagging or wobbling excessively
• Noise or grinding sounds coming from the hinge area

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