Kenmore Refrigerator 596.79519012 (59679519012, 596 79519012) Parts

The door hinge is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It plays a role in holding the refrigerator door securely in place while allowing it to swing freely for easy access. The hinge is designed to withstand the pressure of opening and closing the door smoothly over many years of use.

Causes of a bad hinge include wear and tear from repeated opening and closing of the door, exposure to excessive force or impact, or overloading of the door with heavy items.

Symptoms of a bad hinge include:

• The door not closing properly or unevenly
• Increased effort required to open or close the door
• Noises or squeaking coming from the hinge area
• The door leaning or not staying securely closed

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