Customer Questions and Answers for Frame, Outer (White) by Whirlpool

The door choke on this model is called the inner frame 8169545. It is removed by using a thin edged screwdriver and working it around the edges until you get it unsnapped all the way around. This part is usually damaged even by a professional technician when it is removed as it is snapped on by clips on both sides of the two edges of the door choke. As a technician, if the door has to be removed, I don't go to the customers' home until I have one in hand. If I did manage to get it removed without damage, I could always send the part back. By having the part with me, if it did break, this would save a second trip for the one issue.
