Part W11766665 Right-Hand Door Hinge – Whirlpool Dishwasher
Purpose
Support and control door movement
Details
This genuine OEM right-hand door hinge mounts on the right side of the dishwasher when facing the unit and supports smooth, controlled opening and closing of the door. It works with the spring and cable system to balance door weight and maintain proper alignment against the tub. A bent or worn hinge can cause the door to drop suddenly, fail to stay open, or sit unevenly when closed. Replacing the hinge restores correct door balance and helps prevent stress on the latch, springs, and outer door panel.
