WPW10208398 Whirlpool Door Hinge Pin Cap

The Door Hinge Pin Cap is a component found in various Whirlpool appliances, including brands like Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Whirlpool also manufactures parts for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea products. Specifically designed for Whirlpool washing machines, the Hinge Pin Bushing serves as a pivot point for the hinge pin, facilitating the smooth and secure operation of the appliance door. With time, this bushing may wear down or sustain damage, which can affect the door's alignment and functionality.

Common indicators of a malfunctioning Hinge Pin Bushing are:

- Challenges in opening or closing the appliance door
- Noise during door movement
- A door that feels loose or unstable
- A door that fails to remain shut

The deterioration of a hinge pin bushing typically results from regular use or from applying excessive force to the appliance door or lid.

Replacing a defective Hinge Pin Bushing is crucial for ensuring the appliance door functions efficiently, operates quietly, and seals correctly when shut. This genuine OEM part from Whirlpool is compatible with appliances across its brand family, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears.
