Simpson Delta 10 Lid Hinge for Plastic Lid - Part # SMW042, 0045200001

This plastic hinge is designed for early Simpson Delta 10 top load washing machines with plastic lids. Part numbers include SMW042 and SP025, and it replaces multiple part numbers such as SP025, 0045200001 - 0045200004, and 360257. It's a plastic lid hinge used on very early Simpson Delta 10 medium top loaders, some Simpson 164 and 166 large top loader washing machines, and even fits models like 35100000, 35100100, etc. Additionally, it can be used on some Malleys Aquarius models with a similar metal lid, such as 26352000, 26354000, Aquarius 1500, and Aquarius 1600. Unfortunately, this part is no longer available from the manufacturer. With over 25 years of experience supplying appliance parts to the trade and retail, you can buy with confidence.

Using this hinge is easy. First, make sure your washing machine is unplugged for safety. Then, carefully remove the old hinge from the plastic lid of your Simpson Delta 10 or compatible model. Take the new hinge and align it with the holes on the lid and the washing machine. Secure it in place using the appropriate screws. When handling the hinge, be gentle as it's made of plastic and can break if mishandled. Also, keep in mind that this part is no longer available from the manufacturer, so use it carefully. For maintenance, periodically check the hinge for any signs of wear or looseness. If you notice any issues, you can try tightening the screws. But if the hinge is severely damaged, it may need to be replaced.
