Mend Hotpoint Aquarius Change Top Broken

Change the hinge of Hotpoint Aquarius 1000?

The top of the hinge of my Aquarius 1000 is broken and a piece has got stuck in one of the hinge bearings (plastic part), so that the door falls off when not closed.

I have the parts (hinge + hinge bearing kit). I received an answer a few days ago but what I need to know now is how to to take apart the door itself (glass, hinge bearring, etc...) So if anyone knows how to do it please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Hotpoint Aquarius Household Appliances, Washing Machines Change Top Broken

Ok the easiest way is to place door on table remove all screws and split door inner from outer note how old plate fits in (tip time, take a pic with phone or digi cam) now here is the pain behind the hinge as it fits to the appliance is a tapping plate and as soon as you remove the screws it will drop inside the appliance to you will need to hold this in place,best way is to free the door seal and get your lovely assistant to hold it in place while you doall of this and remember always isolate the appliance
