John June 13, 2011 for Model Number MAH5500BWW How to replace the door latch? Your answer posted at the latch page appears to only partially state how to remove.. are there any more detailed instructions available?
1 Answer Hello John. Here are the instructions from the manufacture. Hope this helps. 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. Care should be taken when opening and closing the door with the screws removed. 3. Remove the door. 4. To remove the front panel, open the door, twist the upper right and left panel extensions inward by pressing in on the outer upper edges of the front panel posts. This will disengage the front panel posts from clips located on the face of the cabinet flange. 5. Tilt the top of the front panel away from the washer. Then, remove the front panel. TOP COVER REMOVAL 1. Remove the front panel (See Front Panel Removal). 2. Remove the four screws fastening the dispenser bezel to the top of the top cover. 3. Remove two 5/16" hex head screws securing the two hold down brackets on the top cover. 4. To remove the hold down brackets, swing the bracket to the outside to unhook the bracket from the slot in the top cover lip. 5. If the door is still positioned on the front shroud, open the door prior to lifting the front of the top cover and tilt the top cover toward the rear of the machine. DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY REMOVAL 1. Remove the front panel and raise the top cover to expose the door lock mechanism (See Front Panel & Top Cover). 2. Remove the wires from the lock switches, wax motor and light fixture. 3. Remove light. 4. Remove two 5/16" hex-head screws securing the switch support to the metal shroud support. Read More...
