1. Do not attempt this unless you are handy and can lift at least 20 lbs with your arms extended the doors are heavy and need to be removed before you can take off the glass.

Note. pay attention to the order of the glass and if there is an bowing of the glass as you will want to reassemble in the same sequence.

2. With the doors removed unscrew the two screws in each of the bottom glass stop. Note these are small sheet metal screws and you need to be carfull when replacing to not strip out the hole.

3 With the glass stops removed lift the top glass off. Ease it out of the top brackets it will come pretty easy.

4. The next layer can be removed the same way as the top, be gentle if it offers resistance only apply slight pressure to the glass.

5. The final layer was the hardest to remove. If the side rubber seals are cooked onto the glass it will feel as if something is holding the glass in place. It is only the rubber seal. Slide a paint scraper between the seal and then frame to free it ( use some silicone spray if it is really hard, you will need to reuse the seal). If it is still resistant unscrew the three upper glass brackets. (DO NOT UNSCREW THE TWO SCREWS THAT ARE BETWEEN THE CENTER AND SIDE BRACKETS). Continue to gentely work the glass until it comes free.

6. Clean

7. Reassemble in reverse order. Note My glass was bowed, I assume this is due to the heat of the oven. Before you disasemble check this and replace each as it was removed. With the bow it can be difficult to get the glass to seat into the upper brackets, I used a wood yard stick between the layer to help algin it so it would slip into place.

Taking delivery today of ElX eifls60jiw & eimgd60jiw to replace whirlpool duet that only lasted 8 years due to drum bearing failure. Picked EXL over samsung & whirlpool mainly for the availability to reverse the doors to accomodate our laundry room setup. Just recently came across bad press on washer and dryer burning clothes and fires due to lint trapped. Your post from 2/14/12 eased my mine as you stated you own similar units and stated that ELX has addressed the drum issue of beating up clothes. Has ELX addressed the issues with the dryer heat and lint problem and any washer issues. I normally clean out my dryer vent annually. Thank you. Bob

The model I received is EW23BC71 – seems like a refurbished 2011 model. I’m I being too picky? EW23BC85 sounds like the refrig I have been waiting for. My dealer insists this is a new updated model. I need a second opinion, should I have them come and get it. What is the difference with these two models?

thx
