Whirlpool W10842414 Washer Lid Hinge Top Load

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL W10842414 is an OEM replacement lid hinge designed for top load washing machines. This hinge connects the lid assembly to the washer cabinet, providing the pivot point that allows the lid to open and close properly during loading, unloading, and cycle operation. It measures 8.5 x 2.5 x 2.5 inches and is a direct factory replacement for worn, broken, or damaged hinges. Licensed appliance technicians and experienced DIY repair professionals typically install this part when the lid no longer sits flush, fails to trigger the lid switch correctly, or shows physical damage at the pivot point.

This hinge is used in residential top load washer applications. It is suited to standard laundry room installations where the original factory hinge has cracked, bent, or lost tension over time. Compatible model numbers are listed below, covering several WHIRLPOOL top load washer configurations from the WTW and 7MWTW series.
