The Door Hinge (RH) is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This hinge is installed on the right-hand side of the dishwasher door, allowing it to open and close smoothly while maintaining the proper tension and alignment. The hinge plays a crucial role in ensuring the door seals securely during operation, preventing leaks and enabling efficient cleaning performance.

Common causes include regular use leading to wear and tear, accidental impacts, or exposure to moisture, which can contribute to rust or corrosion.

Symptoms of a bad door hinge include:

• The dishwasher door not closing completely
• Difficulty opening or closing the door
• A sagging or misaligned door
• Unusual noises when moving the door

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