anyone?

it seems to have two plastic clips at the top on the left and right. it looks like they need pushing down so the panel can be pulled away from the unit but no matter how hard i push i cant get it to move!

can i just break the clips? will new one come with the new machine? or do i need to save these? there must be a knack to it, i just dont know what it is!

thanks all

if the clips have a hole in each it is for a T plastic tool to insert and then you pull the plastic tool and the clips release the locking pin on the door, you can sometimes insert a screw into the hole instead of the correct tool and that will do the trick.

hope this helps

thanks for the reply. the problem was two screws that i hadnt spotted.
now the problem is one of the plastic clips snapped in the process and ill need to replace it. is that going to be an easy part to find?

Hi, Beany – your new appliance will come with a fitting kit and templates to allow you to fit the door to the it. The fittings are not universal and vary widely between the manufacturers.
