Description
This pin guard is a small replacement guard that protects and secures a hinge or pivot pin on compatible Whirlpool appliances, helping the door or drawer operate smoothly and stay aligned. It prevents metal-on-metal wear and keeps the pin seated. What it does:
- Covers and protects a hinge/pivot pin from wear and damage
- Keeps a hinge pin seated to reduce door/drawer wobble or misalignment
- Helps minimize noise from a loose or rubbing hinge
- Commonly replaced when a guard is cracked, broken, or missing
What's included:
Install notes:
- High-level replacement—usually snaps or slides onto the hinge/pin; no special tools typically required
- Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before working near electrical or water connections
- Inspect the hinge pin and surrounding parts; replace damaged pins or fasteners as needed for a secure fit
