Washer/Dryer Handle Replacement, Splendide 2100 Washer/Dryer

#RVlife #repairs #DIY
Dan demonstrates both the right and the wrong ways to replace the door handle on your RV Splendide 2100 Washer/Dryer combo. This is a classic example of how spending a couple of minutes reading the instructions can save you hours of rework! Had I read and followed the instructions this would likely have been a fairly easy repair.
PARTS: To order a replacement handle call Westland Sales at [phone]. Give them the model number of your unit & they can advise you of the model-specific part number.

Thanks for sharing. This may come in handy one day.

So our splendid 2100 handle just broke today and I have clothes inside and I guess you have to really work on that latch to get it to open before you can replace it. 🤔
When we ordered the part, the price had gone up considerably with the price of the part in the shipping it came to about $80

As I recall I had to use a butter knife (a screwdriver 🪛 would work) to force the latch open. It was rather difficult. Basically pushing at the break to rotate it. After replacing the latch, I added a sticker that said, "open with one finger." Good luck with your repair.

Sorry, I no longer have the instructions.

The handle works but what about the rest of it? Good tip about the masking tape.

[@youcantoorv9860]

Yes it works. I reinforced mounting surface and cleaned the filter while I was working on it also.

Thanks for sharing your pain...that's the best way to learn is by someone else's mistakes.
