5. Installation Instructions

Tools Required:

• Flathead screwdriver (optional, for prying)
• Gloves (recommended)

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Disconnect Power: Unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet or turn off the circuit breaker supplying power to the dryer. This is a critical safety step.
2. Remove Old Handle: Carefully inspect the existing handle. Most dryer door handles are either screwed in from the inside of the door panel or clip into place. If it's clipped, you may need to gently pry it off using a flathead screwdriver. If it's screwed, remove the screws from the inside of the door.
3. Clean Mounting Area: Once the old handle is removed, clean any debris or residue from the door panel where the new handle will be installed.
4. Install New Handle: Align the new Mintu replacement handle with the mounting holes or slots on the dryer door. Press firmly until the clips engage and the handle is securely in place. If your original handle was screwed, ensure the new handle also aligns with screw holes and secure it with appropriate screws (not included, reuse original if applicable).
5. Test Handle: Gently pull on the new handle to ensure it is firmly attached and does not wobble. Open and close the dryer door a few times to confirm proper operation.
6. Reconnect Power: Plug the dryer back into the electrical outlet or restore power at the circuit breaker.

6. Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and functionality of your dryer door handle, simply wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth as needed. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.

7. Troubleshooting

Handle Does Not Fit:

• Double-check your dryer's model number against the compatibility list in Section 4.
• Ensure the handle is oriented correctly.
• If the issue persists, contact customer support for assistance.

Handle Feels Loose:

• Ensure all clips are fully engaged or screws are tightened (if applicable).
• If the handle continues to feel loose, it may indicate improper installation or a damaged mounting point on the dryer door.
