Customer Questions and Answers for Lid Hinge (Top-Load Washer) by Whirlpool

This lid hinge secures and guides a top-load washer lid, restoring smooth opening and stable lid positioning for safer loading and unloading. It replaces a cracked, bent, or worn hinge to reduce lid wobble and misalignment. What it does:

• Supports the washer lid so it opens and closes smoothly
• Holds the lid in the correct position to prevent slamming or sagging
• Restores proper alignment when a broken hinge causes binding or uneven gaps
• Reduces noise from a loose or damaged hinge during operation

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance to avoid electrical hazard.
• Handle the lid carefully during removal to prevent dropping or damage.
• Basic hand tools (screwdriver, socket) are typically required; retain original fasteners unless replacements are provided.
• If the hinge attaches to a glass or painted lid, use caution to avoid scratching.
