How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6010700 / WP71002472 Hinge, Door

We had a difficult time figuring out how to remove the old hinges. We thought it looked like they should be removed out the back - but after much fiddling around, finally discovered they came out the front! It would have been helpful if some instructions would have been included. It looked for awhile we were going to have to call an experienced repairman but, to our delight, we finally accomplished the job on our own. Also, I was extremely pleased to even find replacement hinges as my first call to Whirlpool informed me they were no longer available. However, to their credit, they suggested I Google the part number and try to find an Appliance Parts company that might have them. I placed the order on a Monday, they arrived on Wednesday and we installed them on Thursday! Thank you for your help and prompt attention!!
