How to Troubleshoot & Replace Samsung AP5800234 / DC97-17380A Lid Assembly

Replaced lid. Two screws on each side. 

***NOTE*** When moving your washer using a utility trailer, ensure you tape down the lid so this situation does not occur! 1. Using a utility knife, remove the 2 sticker covers from each side of the top lid. They are located near the hinges where they meet the washer body. 2. Using a phillips head screwdriver, remove the 2 sets of screws from each side. Do not strip the heads as this is easy to do. 3. Gently tap each side of the lid where the screws were fastened. This helps remove any tensions on the hinge arms. 4. Using both hands, grab the sides of the washer lid and pull up in a straight direction. The lid should separate from the hinges exposing them. ***NOTE*** Should your hinges fall out from the washer body, they are directional. Try not to allow the hinges to fall out, if they do, simply try installing them back in and if the screws do not thread back into the hinges, remove the lid and reposition the hinges. 5. Install the new lid by guiding the lid frame onto the hinges until the lid engages. 6. Using a phillips head screwdriver, install each set of screws to secure the lid to the hinges. 7. Install the 2 sticker covers back onto the exposed screw heads. The covers are adhesive and should adhere if care was taken during removal. 8. Enjoy your new lid and have a nice beverage from the savings of DIY. 

Ordered the right part and put the door on. Simple install, works great. 

First off I want to THANK Stefanie for her help ordering the washer lid, she took the time to figure out the dimensions of it so I knew it was the correct one and did it in a nice friendly manner, you don't get that very often today. The lid fit perfect, removed the four Phillips head screws and installed the new one. Kinda tricky lining up the holes for the screws but a small stiff wire worked. 

Removed the old lid, took out the metal hinge attachment and replaced the lid. 

Ordered part and paid repairman to fix it 

Ordered new lid 4 screws and done 

Bought new door took off 4 screws took bad off set new on replaced 4 screws 10 minutes 

Replacing the washer lid only required removing 4 screws, lifting off the old lid, sliding the new lid on, and reusing the 4 screws. The whole project took about 10 minutes, including removing the new lid from the box. 

Replace the entire lid
