Product Description
This Top Load Washer Lid Hinge Space is located between the hinge of the appliance and the lid, allowing it to open and close properly. If one or more of the existing spacers are missing or broken and the lid is rattling against the hinge, this part may alleviate the issue. Note that your washer's lid requires (2) total hinge spacers for proper operation; each spacer is sold separately. Replacing this part will require minor disassembly of the washing machine and novice repair experience. You must unplug the washer or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part. Also make sure you turn off your hot and cold water supplies. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh?« Washing Machine Cleaner* (item W10501250) once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *affresh?« brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
