Removed washing machine door. Then removed old hinge. Replaced with the new hinge. Replaced door. SPECIAL NOTE: Do not lose white plastic rings that cover hinge nipples on washer. The replacement part does not come with these 4 pieces.
The thickness of the sleeves are 3.0 mm thick on the base of the sleeve. However the sleeve on the bottom of both the upper and lower hinges of this model washer are different sizes. The base of the sleeve on the top of each hinge post is 3.0 mm but the sleeve on the bottom post of each hinge is only 1.2 mm thick. The bracket on the door that holds all 4 screws to attach the door to the washer will not fit unless you reuse the old sleeve from the lower posts or reduce the thickness of the disc on the lower post to 1.2 mm. I spent hours trying to get the door back on and finally saw why I couldn't get the screws back in because the bracket could not go in place and sit flush the the washer.
I watched the great video on youtube first, my washer model was a bit different, and removing the front panel was a bit different, but easy to figure out. I also had to remove the door separately. In order to install the first clip spring, I had to loosen the counterbalances a bit to get the seal properly aligned. From there I was able to install the spring clip my myself. So far, so good, installing the second clip to the front panel was quite difficult by myself, and the rubber kept popping out of the gap. Finally I enlisted another pair of hands to hold the clip in place up top and on the sides while I stretched the spring around the bottom. It took about 5 tries before we got it secured.
