If the door on your Bosch washer has started to sag or no longer lines up with the lock, a worn hinge is a likely cause.

Quote the full model with its production index, for example WAK24160AU/03, when you check fit.

Signs of a worn door hinge on a Bosch front loader

The hinge carries the full weight of the door and its thick glass every time the porthole is opened. Wear in the pivot or a cracked hinge body lets the door drop, so the hook no longer meets the door lock cleanly. You might find the door needs lifting to close, the machine will not start because the lock cannot engage, or water seeps from the bottom of the door seal because the glass is not pressing on it evenly. Leaning on an open door or using it as a shelf is a common cause of hinge damage.

Changing the door hinge

Unplug the machine before you begin. Support the door while you undo the hinge screws, because the glass makes it heavier than it looks. On some models the door seal clamp has to come off for access. Photograph the old hinge in place, transfer the door to the new hinge and check the door hook meets the lock squarely before running a test wash.

Questions about this part

Can I reuse the screws from my old hinge?

Usually yes, as long as the threads and heads are in good condition. If any screw is rusted, stripped or bent, replace it so the hinge sits tight against the cabinet and the door stays lined up with the lock.
