Using this washer lid hinge pivot is easy. First, make sure your washing machine is turned off and unplugged to avoid any electrical hazards. Then, carefully remove the old hinge pivot from your Hoover washing machine model 960, 970, 975, 1010, or 1020. After that, install the new hinge pivot in its place, making sure it fits snugly. When using the washing machine, don't slam the lid shut as it may damage the hinge. For maintenance, regularly check the hinge for any signs of wear and tear. You can clean it with a mild detergent and a soft cloth to keep it in good condition. If you notice any problems, contact us right away.
