793678 Genuine Door Hinge for Fisher & Paykel Appliances, F&P Appliance Door Hinge Replacement Spare Part

Fisher & Paykel's genuine door hinge 793678 is a straight factory replacement for a worn or broken hinge. The F&P description doesn't name the appliance and we don't hold a model list for it. That makes the part number your best guide, so check the old hinge, the parts list for your model or your service paperwork for 793678 before buying.

When a door hinge needs replacing

Doors on kitchen and laundry appliances get opened thousands of times, and the hinge is where that wear builds up. A tired hinge can let the door drop, swing unevenly, creak, or stop short of closing. On a sealed appliance, a door that sits out of line can leave a gap that lets heat or cold escape and makes the appliance work harder. Check for play at the pivot, cracks near the mounting holes and a door that lifts when you pull up on the handle.

Swapping the door hinge

Before you start, isolate the appliance at the wall. Get someone to hold the door, because once the hinge screws are out its full weight is free. Lay the parts out in the order they came off. Fit the new hinge loosely, align the door, then tighten and test that it opens and shuts smoothly.

Questions about this part

Should I replace both hinges at once?

If the other hinge shows wear, cracks or play, it makes sense to do both together so the door sits evenly. If it's sound, replacing just the damaged hinge is fine. Check how many hinges your appliance uses before ordering.
