PIN HINGE

Pin Hinge is sold under part number 03-3834-01 for ice maker service and maintenance work. Restoring smooth closure can prevent secondary issues caused by vibration and misalignment. A short post-repair check—visual inspection plus a full cycle—helps confirm the issue is resolved without introducing new leaks or noise. A correct-fit replacement helps restore predictable operation and reduces repeat service calls. Replace this part when you see misalignment, visible damage, cracks, corrosion, stripped fasteners, or a component that won’t stay seated. If the fault changes with vibration or after moving panels, look for borderline fitment, loose connectors, or wear marks around the installation area. Take a photo before disassembly so you can confirm orientation and fastener locations during reassembly. If the part interacts with water, do a leak check during the first run and again after a short operating period.
