Debbie September 13, 2012 for Model Number duet front load When I close the and hit start nothing happens. All lights come on but nothing else. An outside piece fell off the hinge side so I was wondering if the hinge may have something do do with the door not making correct contact or something.
1 Answer Hello Debbie. If the latch assembly is not working correctly, the unit will not operate properly. You need to check the latch and make sure it is working properly. Read More...
M.M. August 20, 2012 for Model Number whirlpool washer : ghw9200lw Is this the correct part needed? The door sags. I have to lift on it, just before closing in order for the washer to close. I read the posts but I wasn't sure if I had any door damage. I didn't see anything noticeable. What should I look for if there was door damage?
1 Answer Hello M.M., The door hinge WP8181843 is the correct part to correct a drooping door. Most of these that I have had to change was due to folks putting their weight on the door with their arm while loading or unloading the machine. You simply cannot see damage by just looking at it. The only way you can tell it has damage is by opening the door and closing it slowly while watching the alignment of the door strike as it meets the door switch assembly. If it strikes too low, the hinge replacement is the only way to correct the situation. Read More...
Beth July 22, 2012 for Model Number GHW9100LW1 I have the Whirlpool Duet front loader, model number GHW9100LW1. Currently, the door hinge is on the left, but we moved them and I need the hinge to be on the right. Is part #AP3128729 the correct part number to order?
1 Answer Hello Beth, Unfortunately, I have to be the bearer of bad news. This is one of the few models that doesn't allow a door swap. Because of the shape of the door, the location of the door lock assembly (and harness), and the mounting of the door hinge, Whirlpool never made allowances for the reversal of the door. Read More...
Tina G. April 17, 2012 for Model Number ghw9200lw How do I take off the old hinge, to put on a new one?
1 Answer Hello Tina, Remove the screws and lift straight up to slide the door off of the "hook clips" it hangs on. Lay the door inside up on a towel or blanket. As you remove the screws, be sure to place them where you will put them back in the same holes during reassembly. I usually sit with my legs straight out so I can support the edges of the door while I work on it. As long as you put the screws back where you removed them from, the rest is just a matter of removing screws and replacing them. The hardest part is getting the three sections back together straight. You may want to have help to get them straight when getting the glass back in. Read More...
