Use the part number on your machine or old component to confirm you’re ordering the correct item.

Cosmetic damage can also become functional if it interferes with door movement or allows moisture and debris into the hinge area. Confirm fasteners and hinge hardware are intact so the new cover installs securely. Replacing the part can bring the system back to predictable operation and help prevent repeat call-backs. After replacement, check door movement and closure to confirm smooth operation without rubbing or binding.
