    Hello,

    I have a whirlpool oven model AKP511/WH/02 and I need to replace the inner door fitting containing the fitted glass. I have purchased the replacement part but my question is how do I remove the old fitting ?

    I can see there are 2 screws at the bottom of the door but I cant get access to them to unscrew them.

    Do I have to remove the hinges? If so how do I do that?

    I have failed in my search for an instruction manual, I got no instructions with the part and I’m now stuck 🙁 So I’m hoping there is somebody out there who has done this before and could maybe give me an idea of where to start?

    Thanks in advance,
    T

    Taking the door off the oven will allow you total access. Each hinge will have a locking clip which you flip out in order to lock them.

    Tube of this stuff would have been much cheaper:

    thanks for getting back to me.

    I ‘think’ I have now lifted up the clips you mention but they don’t seem to have done much. Do you think the hinge is attached to the door or to the oven?

    I am afraid to use to much force, should it just slide out? or do I need to ‘lift & pull’ or wiggle it about a bit?

    I dont seem to be getting anywhere fast with this 🙁

    A couple of “typical” examples – they are all basically variations on the same theme.

    Excellent Penguin45, just the link I needed.

    Managed to get the door off in seconds. I did manage to put it back on again which was admittedly more difficult and took me several goes.

    Turns out I will need to buy some of the glue you mentioned in a previous post too to join the new inner door to the outer door as I had thought that was only held by screws.

    Anyway, I’m getting there slowly but surely.

    Thanks again,
    T
