Description
This is the genuine Simpson door hinge for Simpson & Westinghouse dryers, listed under part number 4055574208. The same part is also catalogued as 0045300029. Genuine parts carry the manufacturer's own specification, so the fit and performance match the part that came out.
How this part works
The hinge carries the full weight of the door every time it is opened. Worn hinges let the door drop, which stops the seal from closing properly.
Signs it needs replacing
- The door drops or sits crooked when open
- The door no longer closes flush or springs back
- A grinding noise, or a hinge that has visibly bent or snapped

Fitting and checking
Hinges are usually sold singly, so order two if both sides are worn. Support the door while changing the hinge; oven doors in particular are heavy. Match the part number on your old part, or the model number on your appliance's rating plate, to the details above before ordering. The exploded parts diagram is included in the product photos so you can confirm the item number.
