WPW10299224 Whirlpool Active Door Hinge with Spring for Range/Stove/Oven

Active Door Hinge with Spring for Range/Stove/Oven.

This replacement part is suitable if your oven door fails to shut completely. It is compatible with Whirlpool brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The door hinge, an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, is designed specifically for Whirlpool ranges. It includes a hinge receiver and a hinge arm that together support the door's weight and maintain its alignment. This ensures the door opens and closes smoothly and securely, allowing for easy access to the oven.

Common reasons for door hinge malfunctions may involve normal wear and tear, components of the hinge becoming loose or damaged, or the springs breaking.

Indications of a malfunctioning door hinge include:
- Difficulty in operating the oven door.
- A door that hangs loosely or sags.
- Inconsistent or inadequate sealing of the door, which can result in heat escaping.

This genuine Whirlpool part is also applicable to appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears.
