What a worn hinge bushing does to a door

Hinges pivot on pins, and the bushing is the sleeve the pin turns in. It takes the wear so the hinge arms and the appliance frame don't have to. Once a bushing cracks, wears oval or falls out, the door develops play, drops at the handle side, rubs or squeaks as it moves, and may no longer line up with its seal or catch. On some appliances that leads to a door that won't close properly or a seal that leaks heat or water. Replacing the bushing early can save the hinge itself.

Replacing the bushing

Switch the appliance off at the wall before working on the door. Support the weight of the door, or remove it, so the hinge isn't under load while you work. Note which way the old bushing faces and push the new one fully into its seat. Refit the pin and any clip that holds it. Check the door swings freely and closes evenly.

Questions about this part

Should I replace the hinge as well?

If the hinge pin or arms are worn, bent or cracked, a new bushing alone won't remove the play. Look the hinge over closely while it's apart. If it's sound, the bushing is usually enough to take out the looseness.
