Title: 11067862600 Need help with Right Door Hinge replacement
Post by: rockinrobin on March 21, 2016, 08:44:19 PM: This customer's kid sat on the Drop Down Dryer Door and bent the Right Door Hinge (p/n 3387560) so it's hard to close and won't stay closed.
Therefore, I need instructions (or Service Manual) on how to replace it since I don't think the part will come with instruction's.
:thanks:

To replace the door hinge do I need to remove front panel or just remove the single screw from door on each side then remove door to replace hinge then reassemble the door?

Post by: Thorning on March 23, 2016, 04:37:27 PM: I usually remove the front panel to fix things like that but I am kind of clumsy and usually drop a screw down inside the panel. You may be better at that and could possibly do it w/o removing the front panel.
