I looked for door switch kit and some descriptions say for stacking...i don't need that and have duet model 9200 in white. want both doors to open in opposite diections. do i need to buy kits?

As we could see new one are not compatible with older one as size and dimension of new washer are changed but in case you could try .It is simple just try compatibility of your older washer stack kit with new one in most new model

when you open washer door you hit a stopper pin that holds the door open. there are 2 screws located around that area on both sides of panel. remove them and you'll see vent hook up and water line hook up and power cord. Now at the backside of washer door panel there are two screws remove them and pull washer door panel towards you. under the door panel connected to panel is where you will find door switch. if you jump out door switch and it works then you need new door switch.

You might have a problem with the door switch. Try to reset the unit by unplugging it for a couple of minutes. If that does not work then you need to see if the door switch is bad.

These units are made to have doors to open on the left or right. You just have to look at the hook up now and repeat it on the other side to reverse the door opening.

Duet dryer doors cannot be reversed for the swing. They wil only open one way. Depending on your model of washer the newers ones will allow you to reverse the door swing without a kit. The older units require a kit to reverse the washer door.

The simple, short answer is yes, the Whirlpool Duet washer and dryers can be stacked. You'll need to check with the Whirlpool folks to see if you'll need a stacking kit, or if they are ready to go with what you already have.

The key to stacking these Duet laundry pairs, is to have both the washer and dryer model numbers when you contact Whirlpool, so they can provide you with the stacking kit needed to mount the dryer on top of the washer. You can also check the Whirlpool web site to get a good idea of how much space is needed for a stacked set. Here's the link for the space checker, just look under the Guides and Tools on the left side and click on the Laundry Space Sizer to see what's needed.
