Tools
Screwdriver, putty knife, socket set
Repair & Advice
Was an easy fix for our dryer.
1st I just unscrewed the 2 screws located where the lent catcher is.
2nd I used the putty knife to pop open the top as it is held down by 2 latches.
3rd I unscrewed 2 bolts with a socket set.
4th I unplugged the cable connecting it to the top.
5th the whole front compartment where the dryer door is just lifts straight up & out.
6th I took off the 2 springs that are connected to each of the hinges located on the left & right side.
7th I opened the door & began to unscrew the 4 bolts holding the hinge in place then I put the new hinge on & screwed the 4 bolts back in place then to get the front back on there's 2 hooks located at the bottom of the dryer on the left & right side & on the front compartment theres 2 holes in which the hooks connect to line them up & slide it back down into place then began to bolt the 2 screws holding the front part in place then reconnect the plug & put the top back down the press down the top to lock in back into place & finally screw back in the 2 bolts where the lent compartment is & you're done pretty simple & easy fix.
