The Door Hinge Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This kit includes all necessary components to replace the door hinge, ensuring that the refrigerator door opens and closes smoothly and remains properly aligned. The kit is comprised of one active hinge with a spring and one passive hinge without.
You should replace the door hinge kit if it becomes damaged or worn out. Causes of a bad door hinge include frequent use, heavy door loads, or physical damage from impacts. A faulty hinge can result in misalignment of the door, making it difficult to open or close and potentially compromising the refrigerator's seal.
Symptoms of a bad Door Hinge Kit include:
- The door not aligning correctly with the refrigerator frame
- Difficulty in opening or closing the door
- The door sagging or appearing misaligned
- Unusual noises when the door is moved
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
