If the door to your Samsung DV45H7000EW dryer becomes damaged or won't shut properly, this guide will walk you through how to replace the dryer door assembly. It includes instructions for reversing the replacement door assembly's orientation if needed to match the dryer opening. The dryer door connects to the dryer with two hinges and is held shut by a holder-lever. If a hinge is broken or the door will no longer shut or stay latched, you may need to replace the dryer door assembly. You might also consider replacing the door if you notice hot air escaping from the front of the dryer, indicating a damaged or degraded seal on the door. Throughout this guide you will have the option of using a power drill to install or remove screws. If you're not familiar with using a power drill, you may want to review this article on how to safely use it: Using a Power Drill the Right Way Before you begin, make sure to disconnect the dryer's power source.

ШагиSteps

Step 1

Unplug the dryer from the wall.

Step 2

Remove the four 20 mm hinge screws from the two hinges on the dryer door using a Phillips #2 screwdriver, power drill, or 8mm socket wrench.
The hinge screws are in an 8mm external hex head.

Step 3

Lift the door upwards and then pull away from the dryer to remove it.

Step 4

The dryer door can be attached to open from the right or left side of the dryer. It's possible your replacement door will not be set up with the hinges on the correct side for your dryer's current setup.
While facing the dryer opening, look for the holes where the hinges attach on the dryer and note what side they're on. In this photo they are on the left side of the opening.
Hold the replacement door upright with the inside facing you and note what side the hinges are on. In this photo they are on the left.
If the hinges are on the same side of both the dryer and the replacement door, as shown in these photos, the replacement door's orientation will need to be reversed.
If they are on the opposite side, the door is already oriented correctly and you can skip ahead to step 10.

Step 5

Only follow these instructions if you need to reverse the orientation of the new door to match the opening on your dryer. If the door is already oriented correctly (checked in step 4), skip ahead to step 10.
Remove twelve 15 mm frame screws from the replacement door using a Phillips #2 screwdriver or power drill.
Remove two 20 mm screws from the holder-lever using a Phillips #2 screwdriver or power drill.

Step 6

Separate the front and back plates of the frame. Use a screwdriver along the top and bottom of the frame to pop the frame apart.

Step 7

There are 5 parts on the bottom plate of the door frame that will need to be placed on the opposite side of the frame.
The top hinge and its opposite hinge holder should be swapped. Lift both parts, rotate 180 degrees, and place them on the opposite side of the door frame.
The holder-lever consists of two pieces. Remove both pieces, rotate 180 degrees, and place them on the opposite side of the door frame.
The bottom hinge and its opposite hinge holder should be swapped. Lift both parts, rotate 180 degrees, and place them on the opposite side of the door frame.

Step 8

There is a sticker covering the unused side of the holder-lever on the bottom plate of the door frame. Pry up the sticker using a flat head screwdriver to remove it.
Place the sticker on the other side of the door.

Step 9

Place the top plate of the door frame back on the bottom plate. Squeeze the top and bottom of the door to snap the two pieces together.
Reinstall the 12 frame screws using a Phillips #2 screwdriver or power drill.
Reinstall the two holder-lever screws using a Phillips #2 screwdriver or power drill.

Step 10

Locate the protruding screw on each hinge of the replacement door. This needs to be lined up with the hole in the hinge opening on the dryer. Insert the screw into the hole and lower it to lock into the notch.

Step 11

Reinstall the four hinge screws on the replacement door hinges using the Phillips #2 screwdriver, power drill, or 8mm socket wrench.

Make sure the door is able to shut and stay latched when you're done. If it won't, double-check that the holder-lever was installed correctly. Please check local guidelines for information on how to recycle or safely dispose of the old door assembly.
