Whirlpool 12002084 Pivot Block Kit Washer

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 12002084 is a pivot block kit designed to restore proper door or lid pivot function on Whirlpool washing machines. This component provides the structural pivot point that allows the door or panel to open and close smoothly throughout the appliance's service life. Over time, pivot blocks can crack, wear, or break under repeated mechanical stress, causing misalignment or failure of the moving assembly. This part is a direct OEM-style replacement and is typically installed by appliance service technicians or experienced DIYers performing washer door or lid repairs.

This pivot block kit is suited for residential washing machine applications where the original pivot point has failed or become damaged. It is installed in the door or lid hinge assembly and restores correct range of motion and alignment. Service technicians encounter this repair on top-load and front-load Whirlpool washer models where the pivot mechanism is a discrete, replaceable component. No compatibility with specific model numbers was provided in the product data, so technicians should verify fitment using the model and serial number of the unit being serviced.
