Description
This metal bottom hinge shim helps level and align the appliance door by providing a thin, durable spacer under the bottom hinge. Proper shimming restores correct door fit and reduces rubbing or uneven gaps for reliable sealing. What it does:
- Adds precise spacing under the bottom hinge to correct door height and tilt
- Helps stop door rubbing, binding, or uneven gaps that can affect sealing
- Restores proper door alignment so the latch and seals engage correctly
- Durable metal construction resists compression for long-lasting support
What's included: One metal bottom hinge shim. Install notes:
- Disconnect power and empty or support the door before working on hinges to avoid injury or damage.
- Support the door while removing hinge fasteners; small shims are installed under the hinge plate.
- Use the correct size fasteners and torque per the manufacturer; replace damaged hardware as needed.
