I am having trouble figuring out on how to put the front dryer door back on using the retainer clips. They popped off during disassemby due to belt replacement. Is there an illustration somewhere on the "net" that shows clip installation. Thanks for any reply.

Are there two? One for the bottom left and one for the bottom right? And you have slots in the bottom of the front panel that accept the clips? That in essence, the front panel hangs on these clips?
The above type of mounting system is oft used on appliances that do NOT have two screws at the bottomleft and right.
If yours DOES have a screw on each side, down there, then the clips mount up under the top, where, when they are in place, you tilt out the bottom of the front panel and slip under the clips, then push the bottom back toward the machine and insert and tighten the two screws.
I guess I need to know what system yours is, if you know...unless the clips flew off and you haven't a clue where they cam from. If not, answer me if there are screw holes at the bottom of the front panel or not.
