The Wireform Hinge is an OEM part for GE washing machines. This hinge is responsible for connecting the washer door to the main body, allowing it to open and close smoothly. The wireform hinge ensures the door remains securely attached while providing the necessary flexibility for regular use.
Causes of a bad hinge can include constant opening and closing, excessive force applied to the door, or rust and corrosion from exposure to moisture.
Symptoms of a bad wireform hinge include:
- Difficulty opening or closing the washer door
- The door not aligning properly with the washer frame
- Squeaking or grinding noises when moving the door
- The door feeling loose or unstable
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
