Whirlpool duet dryer - front trim ring has come loose from the clips and I am not sure how to reattach

The clips are first secured to the ring. Then, the clips themselves go into holes around the door.

They are somewhat spring loaded and you'll need to compress the fingers on the clips to remove them from the holes. Then, position the clips properly on the ring and push the slotted section (on the clips) onto the plastic tabs around the inside of the ring. Then, use a soldering iron to melt the tab heads so the the clips will stay on the ring. Then, just line up the holes on the dryer with the clips and start pushing them back into the holes.

Remember, make sure the clips are aligned properly, else they won't line up with the holes.

Good luck!

As long as plastic is not broken they should snap on plastic first then just push on appliance

F28 code with no red light showing for the locked door. The washer would lock the door and then become stuck in the locked position. I had to reach up and pull the latch release manually to get it to open, but then the same thing would happen. I eventually could feel another wire was up inside there and not connected to anything. I had to remove the top of the washer along with the door and door trim ring. Then removed the front control panel (the front panel swings out from the left side and is more or less kind of hinged on the right. Dont swing it too far just enough to pull it straight out after the left side is 4 to 6 inches out. Leave it plugged in and set it on top of the washer) I then removed the screws to the steel front panel that is around the door. Remove the latch and pull it out the right side just enough to get at the broken wire and the clip it came out of. I soldered the wire back onto the clip and reassembled the washer. It is working great now. Hope that helps someone else. I was almost ready to buy some expensive parts that would not have fixed the problem in my case.
Good luck!

This was a very poor design from the factory ..The clips attach to the trim ring at the factory by plastic welding (MELTING) them in place to the stanchion's, in working on many of these sometimes you can super glue them back in place, but you will have to remove the trim ring completely to do it. other times i had to just replace the entire ring as it was to far gone to repair Just a bad design guess they didn't think it would ever have to be taken apart

Use a 3/4' wrench on the blower wheel and a 7/16 wrench on the front shaft of the motor. The threads on the rear shaft are left hand threads so make sure you turn the shaft in the proper direction.check the wheel for cracks,usually if they are loose they're damaged,

look toward the bottom the screws are recessed upward to hide them then it should open up like a car hood and there are spring clips at the top

ummm.. you can only reverse the door opening in oyour dryer, your washer CANNOT be switched it only opens to the left. the dryer can be switched and the "hine kit" if applicable, only contains a new peicw of trim to cover the exposed trim after revesing the door( the catches are on top and bottom no need to reverse them)

yes, it may be as simple as a broken clip where the door opens & closes
