Any help appreciated thanks in advance. I believe you made a mistake in your model number, you may want to double check it. I used model number LSR7010PQ0 for reference. This should be the part number for the water temp. switch. Part number: AP4341093
Access is pretty easy. First, unplug the line cord from the outlet. Depending on the age of the machine : Older units have 2 phillips head screws located in the corners of the control panel bottom. Some newer units have hidden screws under the removable end caps on the control panel. And Brand new units have spring loaded clips in the same area, you need a putty knife to release the clip,by inserting it in the seam between the control panel and the top of the washer and pressing in on the clip and lifting up on the corner at the same time. You can then swivel the control panel up and back on the hinges holding the top of the control panel to the back panel and access and change the switch.

Thanks that helps a lot. This is a kind of silly follow up but the washer is at vacation home 3 hours from home and 1/2 an hour from the nearest hardware store so I want to make sure I have all the tools & supplies before I start. is the switch's electrical connections plug in or do i need to solder? What other tools would you expect to need?

What other tools would you expect to need? You may want to have a pair of needle nose pliers, and a multi tip screw driver, but that should be it, as far as tools are concerned. As for soldering, Not required, unless you break someting. Your harness will either have, standard 1/4" terminals that you remove from the switch, or a pre wired terminal connector that is "plug and play". Just remeber to unplug the power cord first. Good Luck, :) :) :)
