Product review (5 stars): Replaced broken hinge on Maytag 3000 series
The hinge on my Maytag 3000 series suddenly cracked after a long, steady degrading process where it began binding on open. Consequently, the door was unable to achieve a complete seal and it leaked water. After dealing with the leak and noticing the crack I found a video on YouTube detailing replacing the hinge. I ordered this replacement part after shopping around. The price was right and having the option of one day shipping made it far easier to assuage the wife that the situation would be remedied quickly. Removing the broken hinge and replacing it was easy, and the washing machine works perfectly now. I would recommend this part and plan on oiling and testing it regularly to avoid a repeat of the earlier binding problem I experienced with the old hinge.
