bottom hinge

Diagnosing poor closure often leads back to a worn or damaged part—Bottom Hinge (part L232001413) is one of those common service items. Door and hinge components affect closure and alignment. Poor fit can cause rattles, air leaks, and moisture intrusion. If the machine is showing poor closure, inspect this area for looseness, corrosion, rubbing marks, or a part that’s shifted out of position. A solid approach is to confirm the symptom, then check mounting points and adjacent connections for secondary damage. Disconnect power before service. Reinstall carefully so nothing pinches, rubs, or binds once the unit is back together. A correct-fit replacement can prevent small issues from turning into bigger failures. Clean the area around the repair so debris doesn’t interfere with fitment or sealing surfaces. If the part interacts with water, do a leak check during the first run and again after a short operating period.

Take a photo before disassembly so you can confirm orientation and fastener locations during reassembly.
