Though I appreciate you taking the time to make a video on the duet, you made it a whole bunch harder than it really is. Just take the door a part. 5 phillips screws, remove front of door, pop out the latches, pop the new ones in, and put the door back together. It literally took me 5 mins. I admit the screws are intimidating cause it looks like a sub marine hatch. The proper screws are: the two near the bottom (5 and 7 o clock), the screw opposite of the hinge (3 o clock on your dryer, or 9 on the reverse hinge door), and then the "phillips" screws at the top (11 and 1 o clock), not the torx screws. Bam, the front pops off, do your business and pop the front back on. Easy!

Jason. thank you for your reply. Great to know. If you provide a working RU-vid video on what you described here I would be happy to provide a link or of course you could do this yourself as I am sure you are aware. Always great knowing an easier alternative method. Cheers ..... Ken

This x 100000. I just replaced a latch on a Whirlpool Duet dryer and yep, 5 minutes tops. On the inside of the door there are 3 different kinds of screw heads you'll see. One is Torx and don't need to be removed. Then you have two sizes of Phillips head screws. Remove the smaller sized heads and voila, the front comes right off.

I combined methods slightly. Removing the door panel is easy, it's just one part. It's almost all the phillips screws EXCEPT you don't touch the 3 at the hinge, you also don't touch the two by the handle with the weird little tabs. Minus those, you remove all Phillips ONLY. the cover comes off in one part. Then they fought me a little getting the receiving doodads out, so I did clip the plastic from the back side and jut pulled them back instead of fighting 4 stupid tabs through the hole. Snap new ones in. Whole thing takes about 10 minutes. I remember reading that the kit comes with 3 and you use 2. They are each a different tension. This dryer is flawed in that the light button is at a point of more leverage than clip when the door is in the default orientation. I used a stronger than original clip at the top and it lasted longer than than the original. the original lasted 4 years and the replacement lasted 6.

Take out the top two Phillips screws, then take the bottom two off. Five minutes, tops. My wife now thinks I’m cosmic, and I got a kitchen pass to go fishing.

🙂 I love and thank you so much because I'm a single mom and I'm just always something broken in the house and I have to fix it myself

Thrilled to hear this video has helped in your repair. Great of you to have the initiative to do it yourself. Cheers and happy new year.

So glad I ran into your video. Thank you

@gadgetkandeestory3296 4 года назад

Thank you for making this video. I couldn’t find a door like mine on any of the parts sites videos & like you did not want to remove all those screws. I had no idea but then I read someone’s comment on your page about which screws to remove so now I’m going to try that. But thank you because either way your page was the only page that gave me info on this kind of door. 👍🏻

@gadgetkandeestory3296 4 года назад

And actually mine was 6 screws. All the ones Jason mentioned & one at 9 o’clock.

We have a model *very* similar to this one sold as Kenmore Elite. I've been looking for the true Whirlpool equivalent and for that I thank you!!

Appreciate very much for the useful demo, I did on my dryer today.

@Ronhova12345 5 лет назад

Sir, you just solved my problem. My dryer kept shutting itself off on its own about 15-20 min in. Couldn't figure out why. Thought it was the thermal fuse. Replaced it. Still shuts off. Replaced the thermostat. Still shuts off. Watched your vid then studied my dryer closely while it ran, and I noticed about 15 min of tumbling the light in the back would light on its own. Signaling the door was open. I checked the top plastic door clip and it was half closed half gaping hole. Replaced that and the problem never happened again!

It's much easier if you remove the screws on the door. There are 5 that need to come off. All of the philips head ones except the 3 nearest the hinge. Then the outer covering of the door will pop right off

@matteojones 3 года назад

god on ya bud. I've got the same issue. Almost scheduled a Whirlpool service. Any clips of exactly how you managed to rotate the piece around?

@itzmeeman8024 Год назад

If you remove the 6 PHILLIPS screws, the front cover of the door comes off. The latches are easily removed from the back by squeezing with needle nose pliers. You can do the whole job in 5 minutes
