The hinge for the outer door on my CR01 is cracked and needs to be replaced, I have been trying to find out before dismantling everything how I gain access to the two screws attaching the bracket from the washer itself.

I have tried searching through but cannot find anything with this info, be grateful if someone could advise.

Thanks

If you look at the door hinge you will see the Yellow spacer bearings that the outer door runs on.
As is the case with most Dysons, it is just a matter prizing the inner door over the edge of that Yellow bearing, but at the same time, being careful not to put too much pressure in the brittle plastic. It will jump out with a bit of bending in the end. Then access to the screws will be easy for the hinge to be removed.
