Common Symptoms

  • Door sagging or misalignment
  • Door not closing or sealing evenly
  • Loose or unstable door hinge
  • Missing, stripped, worn, or corroded hinge screw

Check Before Replacing

  • With the appliance stable and safe to service, visually inspect the hinge area for a missing, loose, damaged, or corroded screw.
  • Check whether the door is visibly sagging or misaligned relative to the cabinet.
  • Slowly open and close the door to observe whether hinge movement or closure is abnormal; do not force the door.
  • Compare the existing screw with the parts diagram or service documentation for the appliance before ordering.

Pro Tip

If the door dropped after a hinge screw went missing, support the door and inspect the hinge and mounting holes for damage before installing only a replacement screw.
