Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Door rubs the cabinet or the adjacent door during opening or closing.
• Uneven door gaps or a door that does not sit squarely when closed.
• Visible bending, wear, looseness, or damage at the middle-hinge mounting area.
• Door may not close or seal consistently when hinge alignment is compromised.

Check Before Replacing

• With the door supported, visually inspect the middle hinge and its mounting area for bending, cracks, corrosion, or loose hardware.
• Check whether the door is seated correctly on the hinge pivot and compare the door gaps along the cabinet opening.
• Gently operate the door and look for binding, rubbing, excess play, or movement at the center hinge; these observations do not by themselves confirm the hinge is defective.
• Inspect the associated hinge pin/socket and nearby mounting hardware for wear or damage before replacing the hinge.
