The door on the Model 25 dryer swings
completely open (180°).
This 180° hinge required that the door trim
parts be modified. Therefore the 180° hinge
is not backwards compatible to the
Model 22 dryer doors.
The 180° opening door services and comes
apart in the same manner as the Model 22
door does.
Open dryer door.
Loosen but do not remove the second
screw down from the top of the door hinge.
 The hole for this screw is snowman
shaped which will allow the screw to pass
through it when lifting door off dryer.
Remove the remaining three star head
screws that secure the door hinge to the
dryer front panel.
 These screws are tapered and
serrated like the hinge screws for the dryer
top, but they are larger than those for the
top hinges. Serrated head helps keep
screws tight without a lock washer.
