What You Will Need:
Step 1 - Switch Off Your Appliance
Safety First! Please ensure that you have disconnected the appliance from the mains before starting any repair.
Step 2 - Remove The Door & Door Bowl
Unscrew the screws on the hinge and you will be able to remove the door from the machine. You then need to separate the inner and outer trims from each other, which you do by removing the screws.
With the screws removed you will be able to unclip the trims from each other, which means you will now be able to lift the bowl out with the inner trim.
The hinge and the hinge bearings are the most commonly broken parts, and these simply lift out and are replaceable.
