When an appliance door hinge needs replacing

Hinges carry the full weight of the door every time it opens and closes, and they hold it tight against the seal when shut. Springs fatigue and pivots wear, and a hinge can bend if the door is leaned on or used as a step. Signs of trouble include a door that drops open too quickly, sits crooked, won't close flush or makes a grinding or clunking noise. A misaligned door also lets heat, steam or cold escape past the seal. Inspect both hinges, as the other one has usually done the same work.

Changing the door hinge

Switch the appliance off at the wall before starting. Doors can be heavy and spring-loaded hinges can snap shut, so have a second person support the door and keep fingers clear of the hinge arm. Note how the hinge sits in its slot, swap it over and tighten the screws evenly. Then open and close the door several times to check it seals and runs smoothly.

Questions about this part

Do I need to replace both hinges?

Not always, but both hinges carry the door and usually wear at a similar rate. If the other hinge feels loose, rough or weak, replacing the pair keeps the door level and sealing evenly. Check that your left and right hinges have the same part number first.
