Causes of a bad hinge include wear and tear from repeated opening and closing of the door, exposure to excessive force or impact, or overloading of the door with heavy items.

Symptoms of a bad hinge include:

• The door not closing properly or unevenly
• Increased effort required to open or close the door
• Noises or squeaking coming from the hinge area
• The door leaning or not staying securely closed

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