Philips/Whirlpool AWM822 automatic washer

I’ve been out to one with a broken door latch return spring, Could someone please advise how to get the outer door frame off (without breaking it) so I can remove/replace this spring. Cost of new door frame exceeds the value of the machine. Thanks.

Hi
Depnds how you want to do it. Either with the door on the hinges or off. I prefer off as there is more space to work. Take an 8mm box spanner to the 2 bolts on the hinge. The door handle just comes off with a flat blade underneath and pull towards you. The outer rim will just clip on and off. Take it off with a flat blade between where the inner and outer rim meets on the door then slide it around and the rim pops off. A pair of long nose pliers to get the pin out of its holding. Also check the plastic door hook for cracks. Hope this helps.
