Whirlpool WPW10440013 Door Hinge for Range

The Whirlpool WPW10440013 is a replacement hinge designed for Whirlpool range oven doors. This part serves as the connection point between the oven door and the frame, facilitating the opening and closing of the door. The hinge features a central pivot mechanism consisting of two metal components, one attached to the oven frame and the other to the door. A damaged hinge can lead to various issues, such as an inability to support the door's weight, resulting in misalignment, sagging, or the door detaching from the frame, which may pose safety risks. In less severe cases, a malfunctioning hinge can hinder proper door closure, leading to heat loss and affecting cooking performance.
