In February 2007, a poster named coldspot from Kentucky posted his experiences removing the dark lens from the door of a 2140. Thinking I might eventually apply this principle to the door of my own 2140, I saved the thread as a PDF file. Today, BTJustice asked me to e-mail him the file, which I am doing, but I figured others might want to see it as well.
Coldspot posted a series of photos, some of which were saved in my PDF file. All photo credits, as well as the text, are courtesy of coldspot.
He posted his instructions in two posts in the thread. The second half clarified the procedure he outlined in the first half.
FIRST HALF:
hi
I own this washer and the flat lens is a snap to remove.
remove screws from the Door hinges on the washer.
set door front side down.
Remove handle
remove the hinges
Remove the part that locks the door into the washer. The little tab that is on the door part.
Door will come apart.
flat lens is easy to remove now. It is held by for or six screws. Been a long time so forgot how many. Remove then and the ring part. Lens is off. Put
the ring back on to hold the main clear glass.
Put door back together in the reinstall it to the washer.
Your done and have a door with a clear glass you can see in.
SECOND HALF:
In Post# 199105
see the four screws two for the handle two for the thing that locks the door. Them can be removed before or after you take it off the washer.
The handle will just pull straight out once the screws are removed.
The thing that locks it just sets there. So remove the screws it it comes right off.
hinge screws need to be removed from the washer first. The the side of the door. Once you got them out the door front part just lifts and slides off.
Your half way home there is a black ring the size of the lens. Remove screws. Lens sets under the ring remove the ring. Put rblack ring back on and
screw it down.
Slide door back together. At this point put the hinges back on the door and handle and lock thing. Put door back on washer.
Your now done and can see inside the washer.
Door is some what heavy but I removed by myself. I used my legs to help hold it.
