What is your full model number of your 31 or the part.number.

Give me a minute and I will have that information.

As far as I know, the doors are all the same.

The part numbers are...
DFKE8205ZA-0.... MP COVER ASSY
DFHR9174ZA .......DC-IN COVER ASSY

I used this model number.....CF-31ATAAXDM..

Bill's model is a ..CF-31AAAAX1M

That is what I thought but I was told that the new 31 AC/DC doors are not . Like the 52 but 5 covers in 1 . This is what 1 overseas customer of mine told me. I have not seen one yet and I am the only one selling them on ebay...sold out the ac/dc.

I got a CF-31 Mk2 missing all doors last month. I assumed I had to order all five individually - but Monica at Heartland said they were now the 5 door strip, as Blair correctly (as usual) mentioned.

Panasonic part # WV80C0609 $10.95 for the 5 door strip.

Really handy, quick to install and improved locking mechanism. Makes you wonder how the only single door cover for the CF-30 can still be going for $13.00 at Heartland.

Also, if you need the weatherproof seal that goes between the CF-31 case and these covers, it is also a 5-in-1 strip.

PP# DFHR3Q04VA $13.78

And the long thin metal strip that the CF-30 covers were sandwiched in between ( I assume to keep the screws from pulling through the plastic covers themselves) is no more. Apparently the plastic in the CF-31 cover strip is hard enough the attachment screws can hold without tearing.

Hope this help.

My poor typing...I actually meant the optical doors are all the same....

I will post photos when I get home from work.

Are you saying the plastic doors have been updated to the 5 in 1 deal?

Yes, since all 5 or mine were missing on the CF-31PN7481M, I tried to order all five individual doors. Heartland said they weren't made that way on the CF-31 and only came in the 5 door strip. I imagined a $60 price tag but was pleasantly surprised when it was $10.95 total.

Thanks everybody! All good information!

Blair, do you think that I could get in on the next order???

The part number I posted was direct from a service manual and it listed the doors separately.
That's why I am curious if they had updated them...I will pull the doors from mine tonight and see.

I found 2 different part numbers.

DFHR9174ZA DFHR9174YA DC-IN COVER ASSY


Here is the complete list for them.

....CF-31ATAAXDM... CF-31ATAAXxx
K52 DFHR9171ZA.... DFHR9171XA SERIAL COVER ASSY 1
K56 DFHR9172ZA.... DFHR9172YA HDMI COVER ASSY 1
K58 DFHR9176ZA... DFHR9176YA LAN COVER ASSY 1
K60 DFHR9173ZA....DFHR9173YA CONFIG COVER ASSY 1
K61 DFHR9175ZA.... DFHR9175YA USB COVER ASSY 1
K62 DFHR9174ZA.... DFHR9174YA DC-IN COVER ASSY 1

Now from the CF-31MZCAXZZ manual, it shows the one piece 5 in one cover..
So there was an update.

I will be calling them tomorrow afternoon. I have 5 parts on backorder. If they are not in then I am having my stuff sent. I will check to see if they have the door in. What did Heartland charge you for shipping the cover ?

Good question on shipping..I am curious also.

I assume you got my list from the PM on NBR?
