SECTION 5. CABINET ASSEMBLY
Warning
- Always shut off
electrical power to the unit
before beginning any ser-
vice repair procedures.
DOOR ASSEMBLY & HINGES
The door assembly is reversible. It contains
an inertial vibration damper comprised of a
steel plate suspended with springs. The
damper is designed to tune out excessive vi-
brations generated by the machine during the
spin cycle. Replacement inner door liners are
shipped with the vibration damper in place.
REMOVAL
1. Open the door and remove the center
screw of each hinge secured to the inner
flange of the front panel in the door
opening.
2. Grasp the door with both hands and lift
the hinge area slightly. Draw the door as-
sembly away from the machine. This will
disengage the hinges from the slots in the
front shroud
(Figure 5-1).
If the hinges
bind, press out on the plastic shroud near
the hinge toward the cabinet.

REVERSAL
1. Repeat the above steps and, remove the
corresponding sheet metal spacers on the
opposite side.
2. Remove the hinges from the door and re-
locate them to the other side of the door.
3. Remount the door into the new slots and
secure with one screw into each hinge.
4. Mount the sheet metal spacers onto the
side where the hinges were previously to
cover the hinge slots in the front shroud.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove ten screws located across the bot-
tom and along either side of the door
panel. The top edge of the outer panel is
folded over the inner door plug.
2. With the outer door panel removed, the
stabilizer is exposed and is attached to the
inner door plug.
