Description

This hinge shim corrects hinge spacing to help doors sit square and reduce rubbing or uneven gaps. It's a simple replacement used to restore proper door alignment so the door closes and seals more reliably. What it does:

• Adjusts hinge spacing to realign doors; use when a door leans or shows uneven gaps.
• Helps the door close and seal better by restoring correct hinge clearance.
• Prevents binding or rubbing that can occur when a hinge or door is slightly out of position.
• Small, low-profile shim used as a targeted fix without replacing the entire hinge assembly.

What's included: One hinge shim. Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting; if applicable, shut off the water supply.
• Support the door while loosening hinge fasteners to avoid sudden movement or injury.
• Install the shim between hinge components as shown in the service diagram; retighten fasteners evenly.
