FAQs

MEF62782201 is a dryer door hinge used on select LG and Kenmore Elite front-load dryers. It supports the door on the front panel and allows it to pivot open and closed. Because fitment can vary by model revision, match your dryer's full model number and the original hinge part number before ordering.
This hinge replaces MEF62782201 and cross-references to PS11711929, AP5978786, 3288328, and EAP11711929.
Typical symptoms include a door that sags, looks misaligned, rubs the cabinet, will not close smoothly, pops open, or requires lifting to latch. A worn or bent hinge can also cause uneven door gaps or stress on the door catch.
The MEF62782201 hinge supports the dryer door at the front panel and provides the pivot point for opening and closing. If the hinge is bent, cracked, loose, or worn, the door may no longer align correctly with the latch.
For many LG and Kenmore Elite dryers, this is usually a straightforward repair. It commonly takes about 15 to 30 minutes with basic hand tools, typically a screwdriver. To avoid dropping the door or stressing the glass/frame, support the door while removing the hinge screws.
Before installing a new hinge, inspect the door latch, strike, hinge mounting holes, and the door frame for damage or looseness. Sometimes a door that will not shut properly is caused by a worn latch assembly or stripped screw holes rather than the hinge itself.
