Your washer lid may not stay secure or pivot smoothly if the right-side lid hinge is worn or damaged. This genuine Whirlpool washer lid hinge (WP91770) connects the lid to the top panel, allowing it to open and close properly. It's important to wear work gloves for hand protection during installation. This hinge is suitable for various Whirlpool, Kenmore, and Maytag models. Before purchasing, verify your washer's model number for compatibility.
