Bearing - Hinge NOISE CULPRIT ON SIDE BY SIDE?

Could be the hinge, most likely the lower hinge. Fridge hinges usually have a plastic insert in the door to prevent metal to metal contact. This insert sometimes wears prematurely and then metal may start to make contact , thus the grinding sound. The insert can be changed fairly easily if you are so inclined.

maybe axle or bearing . is the brake shield bent hitting anything? is their any sign of something rubbing inside or rim can you see any marks

remove machine remove side panel on affected side the door can be lifted away from hinge bearing allowing you to fit new one it probably only needs plastic bearing as hinges are very tough and dont break unless someone falls on top of door!

These hinges seldom fail. Must be something wrong with the lock or other hinge. It's called "Body Side Door Hinge" go here for villager help. see files and photos. http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/villagerquest/ ebay has parts cheap. so does car-part.com.

I have exactly this problem on my 2004 toyota sienna. Just started happening and the door now rubs the edge of the rear quarter panel as the door opens and closes. Any help on how to replace the middle hinge would be appreciated.

you have to get cam closure part # wr2x9246 and door stopper wr2x9247

sounds like a wheel bearing if you don`t hear a clicking it is a bearing

you need the lower hinge and cam kit. remeve the top hinge then lift the door off the hinge and replace the hinge and the cam on the door.

After reading these posts, I fixed my refrigerator door in less than 5 minutes. The little black plastic cam on the bottom hinge was loose. To fix it, take the hinge cover off of the top with an 8mm socket, and remove the three 8mm screws holding the top hinge on. Remove the door by lifting up off of the bottom hinge and set it aside. On the bottom hinge is a black plastic cam held on by an 8mm screw. The screw on mine was really loose. Tightening it and putting the door back on made it work like new. You probably don't have a bad cam, just a loose one.

duuuuude, i have the same problem with my kitchenaid. please help if you get any anwers!
