Bosch Washer Dryer Door

[RidleyRumpus]

I am trying to take the door off a Bosch WDU28560gb/03 and cannot quite see how to do it.

I have taken out the four circled in red, but then cannot see how to lift out the hinge through the hole in the chassis.

I tried taking off the ones circled in green and although loose, the door doesn't want to come away, the top is loose the bottem part less so.

Is there a knack to removing this door, am I missing something?

Empty the water (unscrew filter)
Lay machine on the side and look inside from the bottom

Just tried that, surely you don't have to take off the base plate and work upwards?

No - At the top, rear, there are usually two screws, which hold the top on. Remove the screws, lift the rear of the top, give it a thump, towards the front, to unhook the front edge. With the top off, you should be able to gain access down into the machine and the hinge.

Nope, loads of stuff in the way.

Surely I am missing something obvious here but can't figure it out and can't find a service manual.

Sorted.

AI told me about some tabs that lock it into place during manufacturing, seemingly just there to locate the door to enable quicker booting together.

A bit of brute force and ignorance later and all done.
