Bottom door plate

elweezo · May 31, 2011, 11:12:00 AM

Hi all, I just cleaned my OBS and found the bottom platic cap on my door has broken. I would look at the manual and see what this part is called but bcuz of jmy accident my vision is poor and I am unable to read my manual. Does anyone know what is the name or part number this is and where can I order one? Its the long black plastic piece that is on the bottom of the door.

thnx
Mike

Just give Bradley a call and they will help you out, they are some good folks! And if you're under warranty it will be even better! Good luck! ;D

I don't believe there are any replacable parts on the door except the thermometer and the seal. If anything else needs to be fix they replace the whole door. As mentioned give Bradley a call.

I had the same thing happen recently, called them and received the whole door one week later! I've said it before, but they've got awesome customer service!

There are instruction on this forum somewheres. I have done it once.

What you need to do is open the door 1/4 to 1/3 open, then lift the door enough so that it clears the bottom pin. If the door doesn't lift up far enough try closing or opening the door more. Once you have the bottom pin cleared pull the bottom of the door towards you, whil lowering the door so the top pin clears.

If the new door doesn't have a bottom pin you need to remove the bottom pin from the old door and install it on the new one. To assemble, reverse the above directions.

Sorry it took so long for me to respond... was out of town

Well now I am in a pickle, the top door pin slides through the hole that it is supposed to sit in (I think its supposed to sit) Now what the crap am i supposed to do.. I am really doubting the quality of Bradley now..

Thnx

It a little tricky to reassemble, and it may take a few tries. If you are frustrated at this point, just take a break, and come back to it later.

When you reassemble it is best to install the bottom pin first. It take a little maneuvering, and don't lift too high, but just barely enough for the top pin to clear the hing so that it can drop down into the hole.
