Refrigerator Hinge Parts

The GAP-HINGE is an OEM component for Whirlpool brand refrigerators. It is designed to fill the space between the refrigerator door and cabinetry, creating a flush fit. The hinge allows the door to open and close smoothly while preventing air and moisture leaks around the door frame. 

Symptoms of a bad gap hinge include:

• Gaps around the refrigerator door letting hot or humid air enter the refrigerator interior
• Increased energy costs from lack of insulation due to air gaps  
• Buildup of moisture on internal surfaces from improper sealing
• Difficulty opening or closing the refrigerator door smoothly

Causes can include normal wear over time, or damage from repeated opening and closing of the door putting stress on the hinge. 

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