Whirlpool dishwasher hinge replacement Help Please

[grazzamongrel]

hello i have come across an intergrated whirlpool ADP539 and it needs new hinges and the plastic bits that link to the springs but my problem is that the side panels dont seem to off to get at the hinges. The whole cabinet seems to be all welded, there is a large access panel at front but i still need to get under the side panels.

can anybody help with advice on how to dismantle this appliance 😕

Don’t know about your model but on the older Whirlpool and Bauknecht dishwashers the adjusters and springs were in the base, and you could gain access to them and the hinges from the front. You didn’t need to remove the machine from its housing to change any of them. Is that not the case with yours?

in hind sight that does make alot of sense. even with the appliance removed and lying on one side i still cannot see the door hinge properly and cannot see how to gain access to it to replace it. so i assume all the door panel has to come off to see the hinge.

Have changed these before but can’t remember if I took the sides off,don’t think I did,I think you need to take off the base front,think there are four taper head screws which hold this up to the underside of the door frame at the bottom,goes all the way across the front which the plinth would fit to. .
