Washer door outer glass replacement without replacing frame

[Andrew Ras]

Model Number: ghw9400pl4
Brand: Whirlpool
Age: 6-10 years

We broke the glass on the outer door frame while moving the washer. We ordered a new washer door frame which includes the glass, but when it arrived, the frame was a different color gray than our current washer and dryer (we apparently need the pewter gray which is no longer made and we cannot find being resold anywhere). Is it possible for us to pop off the current pewter gray frame and replace the original broken glass with the glass we received in the new frame, and then use the new glass and original frame together to fix the door, or are the frame and the glass on that part one piece which cannot be separated? Thank you for any help you can give.

Hi Andrew,

It looks like this might be possible, but I can't say for sure as Whirlpool does not sell these as two separate parts. Even though Whirlpool does not show these as separate components, sometimes you can still disassemble a part into separate components. I would try to disassemble the original broken part first to see if it can be disassembled before trying to take apart the new part.
