Thanks for finding the information for me. The "retainer kit" looks

the parts and perhaps just need the correct adhesive to reattach the
door panel. What kind of adhesive would do the best job? Is it as
simple as I am describing or should I order the "retainer kit" for

$40?

Hi,


It seems I already have
the parts and perhaps just need the correct adhesive to reattach the
door panel.


*As long* as they are intact/not cracked or broken and will hold ok,
they likely can be reused. New kit -may- be something updated, might
call them and ask about that.

A water and higher temp adhesive should do fine...

Outside the d/w the above is fine, inside we use something food
grade/safe!

Thanks again, Jeff. Very kind of you to help me with your advice. I
left an email message at the Whirlpool website asking their opinion of
whether I need new parts or not. With their help and yours, I should be
able to make the repair. Mike
