• Supports and pivots the door on its side
• Provides tension for controlled opening and closing
• Helps keep the door fully closed and properly aligned with the cabinet
• Common signs of wear: door won't close completely, drops open too quickly, feels loose or misaligned, or creaks

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before servicing; allow the appliance to cool
• Remove or support the door before detaching the hinge; note orientation and side
• Use caution—the hinge is spring-loaded; release and re-engage tension slowly
