hi need to know how to get the lid switch out of this washer most washers i’ve done have quick releases on the tops of them. this one the top is screwed to the side panels. does the side panels and top come away together or is there another way to do this please help thanks
Pickupman,
Yes you have to remove the complete cabinet assembly(it’s 1 piece) from the washer frame, and slide it off.
Here’s some instructions that should help, it’s a two step process,
Servicing Components in the Console
-
Remove
the two Phillips-head screws securing the front corners of the console to the washer top.
(depending on model and age the console screws, could be in the front lower corner of the control panel, could be on the backside of the end caps and under the console end caps). -
Tip the console back on the hinges that secure the top of the console to the washer back.
Components inside the washer cabinet can be accessed by completely removing the outer cabinet as one unit.
- Remove the console mounting screws and tilt the console into the service position.
- Unplug the lid switch harness connector from the receptacle in the washer top.
- Remove the cabinet mounting clips by placing the flat blade of a screwdriver in the clip.
- Remove the cabinet by tilting it forward and pulling it away from the washer.
- The rear panel can be tilted back for additional access to components at rear of machine.by twisting the rear panel support 90°. and then tilting the rear panel back.
Good Luck,
