Customer Questions and Answers for Inner Door Panel by Whirlpool

Hello Jerry. Here are the instructions from the manufactre. Hope this helps. REMOVAL 1. Open the door and remove the center screw of each hinge secured to the inner flange of the front panel in the door opening. 2. Grasp the door with both hands and lift the hinge area slightly. Draw the door assembly away from the machine. This will disengage the hinges from the slots in the front shroud. If the hinges bind, press out on the plastic shroud near the hinge toward the cabinet. REVERSAL 1. Repeat the above steps and, remove the corresponding sheet metal spacers on the opposite side. 2. Remove the hinges from the door and relocate them to the other side of the door. 3. Remount the door into the new slots and secure with one screw into each hinge. 4. Mount the sheet metal spacers onto the side where the hinges were previously to cover the hinge slots in the front shroud. DISASSEMBLY 1. Remove ten screws located across the bottom and along either side of the door panel. The top edge of the outer panel is folded over the inner door plug. 2. With the outer door panel removed, the stabilizer is exposed and is attached to the inner door plug. Door Latch Hoop The door latch hoop is snapped into the door liner. A spring retains the hoop in the proper position to align with the door lock mechanism when the door is closed. A plastic support is snapped into place over the latch hoop at add strength. FRONT PANEL REMOVAL 1. Disconnect power to the unit. 2. Open the door and remove the four screws along the inside lip of the door opening. The two that are located vertically, on either side of the door opening, secure the front panel to the front shroud assembly.
