Whirlpool WP34001178 Door Cover OEM Part

I ordered a new door cover and replaced the broken one with the new one. The most difficult part of the repair was getting the door latch mechanism to work properly - that is what took the longest time of the repair.

This was the easiest of repairs. Removed the door using philips screwdriver on all the screws. Seperate the outer ring from the glass and inner ring. Clip the plastic 1 piece handle into the new ring, sandwich everything back together, tighten the 4 screws around the locking mechanism end only to keep everything together and then set the door back on the hinge. Tighten the 4 screws near the hinge first to keep it in place. Then insert and tighten the remaining screws around the ring. It would help to have someone hold the door while you tighten the screws, but I managed to do it alone. Took me a total of 15 minutes from start to finish, using 1 philips screwdriver, and that includes the time it took to wipe the parts clean after I took it apart.

I had to order the front door cover replacing the cover is easy but figuring out how to put the latch on is another story. i finally figured it out thou.
