H0180100002 Genuine Door Hinge for Fisher & Paykel, Haier Clothes Dryers, Front Loading Dryer Door Hinge Replacement

Part H0180100002 is a genuine door hinge for Fisher & Paykel and Haier clothes dryers. The hinge carries the full weight of the door and keeps it lined up with the cabinet, so when it cracks or wears, the door starts to droop. Dryers in this range use more than one hinge and hinge plate design, so compare the shape and screw holes with your old hinge, or check the parts list for your model, before ordering.

Dryer door sagging or not closing properly?

Dryer doors get opened and leaned on many times a week, often with a full basket of washing resting against them. Over time the hinge pin wears, the arm cracks, or the screw holes pull out. The symptoms are easy to spot. The door drops when opened, has to be lifted to close, rubs on the front panel, or no longer presses the door switch properly, so the dryer won't start. A damaged hinge can also stop the door seal sitting flat, letting warm air and lint escape.

Replacing the dryer door hinge

Unplug the dryer or switch it off at the wall. Support the door while you undo the hinge screws so its weight doesn't twist the other fixings. Some dryers need the front panel or inner door cover removed to reach the screws. Fit the new hinge, tighten the screws evenly and check the door closes cleanly and engages the latch before running a test load.

Questions about this part

Do I need one hinge or two?
