We need to convert the vent from the back to the side. The kits are confusing us and the salesman said we have to turn the motor, that makes no since either. Husband wants to know how to get the front panel off. It’s a whirlpool “cabrio” model #WED5600XW0. help! thanks Teresa:eek:
Here are your parts
Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL WED5600XW0 ELECTRIC DRYER | AppliancePartsPros.com
See the attachment for a side kit instruction sheet. Looks like it covers mostly older units.
Here is the unit’s install sheet.

It lists 2 side kits (W10186596 and 279818). When I search AppliancePartsPros I come up with the same part so it looks like they are now the same part.

I cannot find a manual for the WED5600 but here is a manual for another Cabrio. It should be close.

You have to join the site to download the manual but it is free and this is a very good site for manuals and other info for the appliance repair DIYer.
