Repair & Advice
I have a whirlpool duet front load dryer. Door hinge broke. The only advice that I would have is that you do not have to loosen all of the screws to separate the door halves. If you go to far you loosen components that are unneccessary for the hinge repair and it is brutal trying to get them back on, Do not remove screws in the indented part of the door.

Repair & Advice
Via web I found my problem was typical-the door hinge needed replacement. Saw a few you tube DIY's and it looked easy. Found replacement hinge here vey easily. Hinge arrived super fast. Removal of door was simple, make sure you have something soft to put it down on since the window will be face down while repairing. I took out all the screws and bolts connecting the inner and outer door panels. Panels separate fairly easily so the hinge can be pulled out. Getting hinge itself out took a few tries since the actual mounts press into place and have small plastic end caps. Kind of hard to explain. Once old hinge was out I saw two of the four mounts were broken which was causing the door sagging problem. New hinge went in easily. Then it was just a matter of putting the door back together. I wished I payed more attention to where the two sizes of screws and bolts went but it was a common sense issue quickly resolved. Door went back in place wit no trouble and closed properly. Very glad I did this myself.
