fitting decor door to Whirlpool ADG7540

[kitchen duffer]

the plastic straps attaching the decor door to the dishwasher have perished or just worn out. I have bought replacements and can attach those to the decor door, but am not sure how to then attach the decor door with the new straps/fasteners on to the actual dishwasher. does anyone have a link to some instructions?

It looks like it should be really straightforward — can anyone offer me an idiot’s guide please?

Thanks for reading, and for any help or info.

The protruding parts of the plastic strips fit into the open holes of the metal outer door section and are pinched tight by a clip. The clip needs opening first by loosening the corresponding door screw by each slot then the decor door is pushed too and slid up to engage the clips. Tighten the clips and it will hold the door.
You will need to position the strips very carefully, or alternatively find some suitably sized wood screws (not too long) and replace the door screws with these so they go right through the metal outer and into the decor door 😉

clivejameson — many thanks for this, very helpful. I’ll be looking for 2 clips on each side then, right?

Cheers,

Yes, in fact the clips will still be within the door, they themselves clip onto the outer door panel inside 😉
