Whirlpool 8169353 Outer Door Frame (Black) OEM Part

Once I had the new frame I was able to quickly pull off the old frame. The one unexpected thing that I encountered is the glass in my original door was sealed on with some kind of glue. I was able to cut it out, but didn't have any thing to seal the glass into the new frame. No problem though as the glass fit securely.

Replaced outer frame and handle

Excellent delivery on the new frame. Took me about 20 minutes to remove the old plastic frame, remove and clean the handle and glass, install into the new frame and snap on. The frame attaches with 3 screws. The problem is caused by Whrilpool's poor design for the bottom glass braces which are molded plastic as part of the door. They are not strong enough to withstand a few door slams and break off, leaving the glass unsupported. The AppliancePartsPros folks are top notch and deliver as promised.

I easily found the replacement parts I needed from your web site, watched a repair video you had available, and replaced the broken parts you sent me. It was as simple as you said it would be.

I ordered this frame from Appliance Parts Pros.com . I had the model and serial number, which made ordering easy. The part arrived in good time, about 10 days. My husband had no problem taking the glass off the old frame. We had to scrape the old silicone off....a piece of cake. You must make sure you have some all purpose silicone on hand to secure the glass in the new frame. After this has dried, the frame snapped into place easily and we secured with the screws from the old frame. Put the old handle on the new frame. All in all, it was a very easy fix.
