Remove the 4 screws that hold both halves together then a Swiss Army knife blade between the two halves and it should open up like a Ronseal paint tin! 🙂

sorry didnt make myself clear, door is split but the hinge is connected to the inner trim in such a way i cant see for the life of me how you disconnect it from the trim?? hard to explain but have never seen such a daft design im sure someone must have a knack.

turn the hinges in as if the door was closed, lift the hinge upwards and away from the trim, quite easy really

Re: inner door on hotpoint vtd00

so the hinge has to be loosened off then? as it wont lift when bolted on. wish i had the thing in front of me starting to forget the bloody design now!

Re: inner door on hotpoint vtd00

turns out hinge has to be unscrewed and pulled out completly then put into the trim one at a time, easy now ive done one!

No, its you that confused all of us, we thought you had already removed the door complete with hinges which is the correct method. 🙂

We didn’t realise you were trying to remove the inner door from the hinges whilst it was still attached to the machine. :rolls: 😀

of course im confused, ive only fitted perhaps 50 or so of these, some while you were still repairing tdl machines

maybe i shouldnt try and help anymore?
