These are more less disassembly instructions as best I can describe reverse steps for reassembly.


  • Remove the top by removing the three screws on the back.
  • Remove the control panel by removing the three screws on the top and one behind the soap dispenser. There is also a clip on the inside right-hand corner of the case holding the control panel on you must press by reaching over the top to the inside.
  • Remove the bottom panel.
  • Open the door and remove the door latch by removing the three screws (don’t have to disconnect wires).
  • Using a screwdriver remove the wire clamp that holds the boot on in the front. This clamp is in the grove on the front of the boot.
  • Remove the front (door and all) by removing the four screws (one on each corner).
  • At the top of the boot there should be two hoses, slip the boot out from around the hoses.
  • Loosen the screw clamp that holds the boot on at the back (I find this easier if you remove the bottom balance weight).
  • Once the clamp is loose the boot should pull off.
  • Then resemble with new boot.

Hope this helps!! For more on do-it-yourself appliance repair visit Appliance Repair Guide For All Major Home Appliances
