My friend asked me to fix the door on her Hotpoint WM62 because she snapped the hinge & damaged the hinge bearings/bushes.

I know that the door clips together, but don't want to force anything.

Any ideas on the best way to seperate the outer & inner door panels?

remove all the screws around the door opening , then gentle use of a butter knife to tease the 2 halves apart to separate the internal lip, once started the 2 halves will pop apart
