F\u0026amp;P uses 60 and 68 sizes across its top loader parts, and steel lids take a different hinge again, so check both your lid type and your machine's size before you buy. Matching the number on your parts list, or sending the model and serial number through our parts enquiry form, removes the guesswork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWasher lid loose, dropping or not closing?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lid hinge connects the lid to the washer's top deck and lets it pivot open and shut. A glass lid is heavier than a plastic one, so the hinge takes a fair load each time it's lifted. When the hinge cracks or its pivot wears, the lid can sit crooked, wobble, drop suddenly or fail to close fully. On many top loaders the lid must be closed for the machine to spin, so a bad hinge can also cause the washer to stop or show a lid fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Fisher \u0026amp; Paykel part 421952\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLid hinge for glass lids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e68 size version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel lid hinge 424246 is a separate part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLid type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e68\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChanging a glass lid hinge\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the washer before you start. A glass lid is heavy and can break, so have someone hold it while the hinge is undone, and lay it on a towel. Note which way round the old hinge goes and where any damper or spring is located. Fit the new hinge, tighten the fixings evenly, then open and close the lid several times to check it moves smoothly and lines up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMy washer has a steel lid.
