I have a Danby front loading dryer and unfortunatly someone tried to pull the door open when it was locked shut until they broke the handle off. Is it possible to order a new door with handle to replace broken one? Thank you.

Yes contact your local appliance dealer or if you have the manuals that came with this dryer contact the manufactuer by the listing on thier literature.
Or do a web seach LIke :DANBY DCD5505W DRYER PARTS

YES!!! Samething happened to me!!!
I haven't fixed it yet BUT I know how to get in~You have to take the handle off...completely. May have to break the plastic...
You'll need 2 flat head screwdrivers.
You have to push the metaal part that would have been attached to the plastic handle and then pull the door out where it meets with the machine. Like where the grey inner seal is. Be gentle but firm handed. Think push with one driver~pull out with the other. Be patient as it will be fustrating the first time.
Good luch tho!!!

Managed to pull back casing on door to reveal the handle and pin holding it together. Once i had pulled pin up slightly the door opened to reveal the door handle catch had broken. Engineer has fitted a new handle and everything is fine.
if clothes are still in washer? and machine has finished cycles? then handle broke so unable to open ??? your best option is to unplug/ and if necessary disconnect water supply hoses then remove the top screws from rear panel which also secure the top panel as you will observe ? then pull backwards top panel and loft off ? you now have access/visual of the door catch inside front machine look?? at the catch and you will see how it locks ? you can lever the catch gently and door opens to fit a new door catch is easy diy and not expensive if you are confident usual problem these break ? is the time delay micro switch sticks with age /moisture try dw40 and work plunger b4 you refit door back after replacing handle/catch assy
there r 2 ways to get the door open 1)use a normal knife and place in front of the door handle push it in and it should open 2)pull the plug out take the lid off now place your hand down to where the catch goes into the washer using your fingers u should be able to pop it open with a bit off fiddling
you need to buy a new 'handle'. to open the door for the time being, disconnect power and then use a coat hangar to pull the latch towards you, ie. outwards
I need to take off the lock on the dryer door and replace it
