Spares2Go Door Hinge Bracket Washing Machine - ESFA ESFB ESGFB ESFE

This bracket is designed for Sharp ESFA, ESFB, ESGFB, and ESFE series washing machines and has the part number 37016846.

Typically, you will need a screwdriver (likely Phillips head) and possibly a socket wrench or pliers to remove and install the hinge. Basic mechanical aptitude is helpful.

The model number is usually found on a label located on the back of the machine, inside the door frame, or on the side of the appliance.

It is strongly recommended to only use this part if your model number is listed as compatible and the part number matches. Using an incompatible part can lead to improper function or damage.

This product is typically the hinge bracket only. You will likely need to reuse the original screws from your old hinge or purchase new ones if they are lost or damaged.

A small amount of white lithium grease or silicone lubricant applied to the hinge pivot points can resolve squeaking. Be careful not to over-apply or get lubricant on the door seal.

Signs include the door feeling loose, not closing completely, not latching, or making unusual noises when opening or closing.

Ensure the hinge bracket is correctly aligned and securely fastened with all screws. Check that no obstructions are preventing the door from closing fully. Re-verify model compatibility.

Confirm the door is fully latched. The hinge might not be allowing the door to engage the latch mechanism correctly. Re-check installation and alignment.

Apply a small amount of white lithium grease or silicone lubricant to the hinge pivot points. Ensure no excess lubricant gets onto the door seal.

A poorly closing door due to hinge issues can cause leaks. Re-ensure the hinge allows for a tight seal. Also, check the door seal itself for damage or debris.
