THE DRYER DOOR IS VERY LARGE AND HEAVY. Failure
to follow the instructions below can result in damage to
the dryer, property damage or injury to persons.
• To avoid damage to the dryer or the door, support
the door with a stool or box that fits under the
door, or have an assistant support the weight of the
door.
• Avoid dropping the door to avoid damage to the
door or the floor.
1. Open the door and remove the two plastic hole caps
on the catch side by gently prying up with a flat blade
screwdriver. Save these for step 6.

2. While supporting the door, remove the 4 screws, two
from each hinge. Set the door aside face down on a
protected surface to prevent damage to the door or
the work surface.

screws on each side of the door and lift off the inner
door frame using a flat blade screwdriver. Remove the
