W10208415 / WPW10208415 Dryer Washer Door Hinge

Key Features

  • Heavy-Duty Reinforced Steel: Constructed from high-strength metal alloy to support the significant weight of front-load washer and dryer doors, preventing sagging over time.
  • Precision Pivot Points: Engineered for smooth, silent operation, allowing the door to swing open and closed without binding or squeaking.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Coating: Features a specialized finish to protect the hinge from the high humidity and moisture common in laundry environments, preventing rust and seized joints.
  • Dual-Appliance Compatibility: Designed as a versatile "Exact Fit" component that works equally well on both front-load washing machines and matching dryers.

Compatibility & Fitment

This hinge is a standard replacement for many 27-inch and 29-inch front-load laundry units manufactured by Whirlpool. Key compatible brands include:

  • Whirlpool: Fits Duet, Duet Sport, and WFW series models (e.g., WFW94HEXW, WED9200SQ).
  • Maytag: Compatible with many Maxima and Epic Z series (e.g., MHW6000XW, MEDE200XW).
  • Kenmore / Sears: Fits various Elite and 110-series models (e.g., 110.47511701).
  • Crosley & Amana: Compatible with select front-load units utilizing the 10208415 hinge configuration.

When to Replace

  • Door Sagging: The door sits lower than the latch, requiring you to lift it upward to get it to close and lock.
  • Visible Metal Fatigue: The hinge plate is bent, or the pivot pins have developed significant "play," making the door feel wobbly.
  • Binding or Resistance: The door is difficult to swing open or closed, or it makes a loud grinding or snapping metal sound during operation.
  • Door Won't Latch: Because the hinge is bent, the door strike no longer aligns with the door switch, preventing the machine from starting.

Installation Tips

  • Support the Weight: Front-load doors are surprisingly heavy. Have a second person hold the door or place a sturdy box underneath it to support the weight while you unscrew the old hinge.
  • Accessing the Screws: You typically need to remove the front decorative trim or "bellows" clamp to access the screws that secure the hinge to the machine's front panel.
  • Screw Management: Keep the door-side screws and the cabinet-side screws separate, as they are often different lengths or thread types.
  • Alignment: Loosely start all screws before tightening any of them fully. This allows you to adjust the door's "squareness" to ensure the latch hits the center of the door switch.
  • Safety Check: Once installed, ensure the door opens at least 90 to 120 degrees without hitting the machine's trim, and verify that the door lock engages smoothly on the first try.

FAQs

This hinge is used on select front-load washers and dryers from Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Crosley, Amana, and KitchenAid. It is commonly listed for Whirlpool Duet-style front-load units and similar platform machines under these brands. Because fitment can vary by model revision, match your model number and existing part number before ordering.
Known replacement and cross-reference numbers for this hinge include W10208415, WPW10208415, 1872427, AP6017115, PS11750410, EA11750410, AP6041529, 4461969, PD00042569, and 9436489. W10208415 is commonly superseded by WPW10208415.
Typical symptoms include a sagging door, the door sitting lower than normal, rubbing or scraping when opening or closing, squeaking at the hinge area, difficulty latching, or a door that will not stay aligned with the strike. On front-load washers, poor alignment can also prevent the door from locking correctly.
For most front-load washers and dryers, this is usually a moderate repair. The job commonly takes about 20 to 45 minutes. You will typically need a screwdriver or nut driver, and it helps to support the door while removing the hinge screws so the door does not drop or twist.
Before installation, disconnect power to the appliance. Inspect the door strike, latch or lock assembly, hinge mounting holes, and the door frame for wear or cracking. If the old hinge failed because the screws loosened or the door was forced open, check for stripped screw holes or a bent door bracket so the new hinge can sit squarely.
Hinges usually wear out from repeated opening and closing, excess door weight, loose mounting screws, or misalignment that puts extra stress on the pivot. On front-load washers, slamming the door or forcing it when the lock is engaged can also damage the hinge over time.
