Bosch machine door

[Phil9560]

 

Hiya all.Ive got a bosch wtn85201 c9ndenser dryer with a cracked door glass.I have the replacement part but I just cannot work out how to dismantle the door.There are no visible screws and it doesnt want to seperate if i try to pry it open.And I'm wary of forcing it.Has anybody encountered this ? Thanks very much in advance.Phil.

Hello Phil. These days they seem to be designed to be not taken apart. In fact some are definitely not able to be taken apart. However, if they sell the door glass separately then surely it must be able to be taken apart. The outer cover is probably pushed over the inner one and it will be a very tight fit. If there are definitely no screws anywhere you must have to prise the two parts away from each other with a very thin screwdriver. It may well not be possible to do it without causing some damage.

Hiya Andy.I thought that might be the case.Bloody frustrating though.Thanks for the reply.Phil.

Just make absolutely sure there's no hidden screw like under a sticker.

i'll double check but I couldn't feel anything.Phil.

Nah theres no hidden screw.Looking at the exploded diagrams I've found it looks as if needs a good twist to release it.But my best twist doesnt seem to be good enough.
