10036625 Genuine Door Hinge for Bosch, Siemens Front Load Washing Machines, BSH Window Hinge for the Porthole Door

BSH part 10036625 is a genuine window hinge. BSH calls the porthole door on a front loader the window, so this is the hinge that connects the door to a Bosch or Siemens front loading machine. A bent or cracked hinge stops the door lining up with the lock. No models are on file, so check the number on the old hinge or your parts list.

Front loader door not closing or locking?

The door on a front loader is heavy, and children leaning on it or laundry baskets knocking it put strain on the hinge. Once the hinge bends, cracks or its pin wears, the door drops slightly and no longer meets the lock squarely. You may find the door won't latch, the machine won't start because the lock can't engage, or water seeps from the bottom of the door seal. A door that sags when open or feels loose when moved up and down usually points to the hinge.

Changing the door hinge

Unplug the washing machine and turn off the taps. Support the door while you remove the hinge screws, as it will come away once the last one is out. On some models the door has to be split to reach the hinge. Fit the new hinge, check the door closes cleanly into the lock, and run a short rinse to check for leaks.
