The right side hinge that holds the washer top door broke and needed to be replaced.
Popped out the plastic "doors" that cover the metal actuators. Removed the metal actuators on both right and left sides of the door then unscrewed (3 screws each actuator) them from door frame. Slid the actuators out to enable the door to be removed. Unscrewed 2 screws on the top front of the washer which enabled me to angle the top of the washer to expose the screws that hold the plastic hinges. Unscrewed the hinges (2 screws each) and replaced both of the hinges (I figured I'd do both of them now so I don't have to do it again for another 15 years). Put everything back together and all works like new.

Right side plastic hinge broke after the damper went bad. Replaced right hinge and both dampers.
Started by lifting lid and removing the 2 rectangular plastic pieces that cover the hinge dampers (very small, thin flathead screwdriver). Removed hinge dampers (3 screws each) then removed lid. Removed the 2 top, front screws (covered with plastic caps). Then I removed the 2 screws on the top, back panel (nut driver). This allows the top to be lifted in a way that allows you to remove the screws (2 each) that secure the plastic hinge. Be careful here. The top has a wiring harness connected to it. Removed the screws from underneath the hinge and removed the hinge. Inserted the new hinge and screwed it in. After the hinge is installed you can reattach the top. Took this opportunity to clean everything with the lid removed. I then installed 2 new dampers. You’ll have to align the with the hinges so that the 2 flats on the damper shaft fit back into the hinge to secure the lid (easy). Tighten all the screws and voila!
On repair of (replacing one of the MEF62462103 hinges) the previous comments and instructions were good and fairly accurate. However, in addition to having to remove the two screws on the top front so the entire top assemble can be lifted, there are two short screws on the back of the washer towards the top on each side that need to be removed. That way you can tilt the entire top up enough to get to the two underneath phillips head screws for each hinge. It’s okay to leave all the hoses connected and good to have a second person hold the top tilted up so you can get to the hinge screws. It took about 30 minutes to change one hinge for me and my helper.

Lid hinge pin receptor (MEF62462103) broken
Remove cover over associated hinge pin assembly and the hinge assembly behind it. With the lid open, remove 4 screws holding on the top assembly, lift and rotate it on its wire cable side and rest it on the machine top frame (it may be necessary to remove the 2 cable restrainers to gain enough play to do this - you will have to remove the large rear cover to accomplish this and be able to reinstall these restrainers). Remove 2 screws fastening the broken hinge pin receptor, install new unit, and fasten with these 2 screws. Install top assembly and a new/repaired hinge pin assembly (most likely the reason for the broken hinge pin receptor).. Replace cable restrainers and rear cover if it was necessary to remove them. Note: These hinge pin assemblies are sold as a set (1 left, 1 right; they are not interchangeable and are expensive). Time to do repair = about 30 minutes.

RIGHT HINGE BROKE
Removed 2 hidden screws from the top panel. Lifted top panel. The first screw came out easy, the second one gave me trouble. It is best to help a helper who can hold the lid open as much as possible. To insert the new screws takes patience as they might fall very easily. Overall, not that difficult - just need patience.

Plastic hinge broken on RHS.
Description provided on website was that repair was similar to another washing machine where you press in on spring clips to release top of machine to access hinge. Not correct at all.
There are two screws on top of machine that are covered by caps. Remove caps and then remove screws. Lift up / prop up machine top and you have easier access to 2 screws that hold plastic hinge in place. Remove screws and replace hinge and replace screws. Took me longer to figure out I had incorrect directions than it did to replace hinge.

The right plastic hinge broke
The instructions received from partselect.com were really good. There are two long screws located on either side of the front control panel. Simply removed the small covers to expose the two screws. Then remove both screws. At that point you can lift up (carefully) the front panel high enough to gain access underneath to remove the two Philip head screws holding the hinge. Be careful not to drop the screws down in the machine cavity. Lift out the old hinge and insert the new one. Re-install the two Phillip head screws into the new hinge. Let the front panel back down and re-install the two long screws. You’re done!
