Bosch 00704287 Washer Door And Window Assembly OEM Part

After years of replacing the female electric latch switch that controlled the operation of the machine, I discovered that the window/door's handle's connection to its male latching hook had failed. The two were no longer interconnected. Also, the window/door's frame and hinge were materially "fatigued" meaning the hinge/body assembly was allowing the window/door to sag - causing the misaligned door/window to machine body electric latch switch to break when the window/door was closed. Gaining access to the set screws of the window/door hinge was especially difficult as the washing machine was installed in a closet and the window/door would not open fully to allow access. I had to remove the machine from the closet to fully open the door to access the hinge mounting screws. Finally, I needed a special tool, a #2 Square Recess Screwdriver, 8-Inch Shank Klein Tool to work the mounting screws. Discovering the door/window handle's broken connection to the window/door's male latch took months, accessing the hinge screws two days as I had to order the Square Recess tool to remove the screws.

AppliancePartsPros.com is awesome. On Wednesday I ordered the front door panel and rear door panel just for good measure. Thursday the parts arrived! Thirty minutes after that I determined I had ordered the incorrect parts. They looked exactly correct and likely a different year of Axxis washer. I called AppliancePartsPros to see about a return. Morgan took my call and was exceedingly helpful! She helped me with ordering the correct item, the washer door and set up the RMA. At 11:53am Friday the new part arrived. At 12:10pm Friday afternoon the door was installed and the washer was back in service. Thank you Morgan and AppliancePartsPros.

I ordered Bosch washer window/door asm part from AppliancePartsPros. The part arrived in two days, and it fits well on the older washer. Replacement assembly is also easy.
