      Returning guest presenter Aaron Wilson is back for another exciting discussion. This time, we'll be talking about...
      The Science of CYA: How to Keep the Customer Safe, Document Your Work, and Not Get Sued
      We take on a lot of liability as appliance repair techs, and that can get us into sticky situations whether we've done anything wrong or not. Aaron will be teaching us all about how to navigate this side of the trade.
      We'll start by going over a tragic, real-world case study where a sloppy installation had lethal results, analyzing exactly how the installer's negligence caused this. From there, our scope will expand to what kind of safety precautions we should implement in our own work, both for the customer's sake and for our own.
      But even if you do everything perfectly, there's still the famous "technician witch hunt." Well, we'll also talk about how to deal with that by thoroughly documenting your work and putting yourself beyond legal reproach.
      A little about our guest, Aaron Wilson:
      Aaron has been in the appliance repair trade for about 15 years, starting out by doing installations before moving on to bigger and better things. He worked for C&W Services as a Sub-Zero authorized servicer for a time and thereafter joined Mr. Appliance of Highland Park in the Dallas area, where he worked for years as the lead technician and field service manager. These days, he's making sure that all the appliances of everyone's favorite fried chicken place are in tip-top shape as the Quality and Performance Consultant for the southwest branch of Chick-fil-A. In addition, he has taught many classes on refrigeration repair and advanced diagnostics, during which time he also developed training material for the soft skills side of things, which he is delighted to share with you. On top of all that he's a certified graduate of the Master Samurai Tech Academy, so he knows his stuff!

LG DLEX7900BE Dryer - Door Orientation Issue/Question


Recommended Posts

Can anyone assist me with how to purchase a particular part for this LG Dryer? It is a little white plastic piece with a spring attached to it. It allows the dryer door to snap into the frame and switch to opening in a horizontal motion (instead of vertical). I went through the LG Website to ask about it, but no one was able to find what I am looking for. I also went through appliancepros.com to see if they could figure it out. They thought that they did figure it out, but it ended up being the part that this white plastic part sits inside rather than the white plastic part itself (MJH63096801 was what they sent me).

And if this part does not exist for purchase, is there any way to get another maybe 3D printed or something? We currently can only open the dryer in the vertical orientation because of this.  The part I am looking for is circled in red in the pictures.

I try to find it, but I cannot find it.

If it is not shown in the diagram above, it may not be purchasable separate from the door assembly.

Maybe try to lookup by using this model number: DLEX7600KE

It takes the same part that was sent to you and seems to show more of the parts in the area you are looking for but it looks to me like the door should be reversible by just swapping the parts from one side to the other - shouldn't need any new or different parts then what already is in the dryer door to reverse the door open swing direction.
