W11168238 Whirlpool Lid Hinge Bushing

The Lid Hinge Bushing is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part designed for use in Whirlpool front-loading washing machines. This component, which is attached to the wash tub, encases plastic rollers that facilitate the smooth and balanced operation of the washing machine's lid.

Whirlpool's brand portfolio includes Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures products compatible with Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

When the lid hinge bushing begins to fail, you might notice several indicators such as increased noise or grinding sounds from the lid area, difficulty in opening or closing the lid, and eventual damage to mounting brackets due to binding. These issues generally stem from wear and tear due to frequent use and the breakdown of mineral oil within the rollers.

This specific part is also compatible with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brands.
