Bil A for Model Number kenmore550 how do i open the control panel on a kenmore 550 washer to replace part wpw10248240. most of the vdeos i watched do not apply to this machine,
Answer Bil, First remove power to the washer. Remove the selector knob from the switch to be serviced. Use a putty knife or other similar flat blade tool and slip it under the right or left corner of the control panel. Lift the corner of the panel and push back on the knife blade to release the clip. Repeat the procedure for the other clip. "roll the console up and over the back panel, as high as possible. Disconnect the wire connector from the switch terminals. Lift the locking tab so that it clears the hole in the console, (You may need a small/pocket sized flat blade screwdriver) rotate the switch approximately 30° clockwise so that the square on the front aligns with the cutout, and remove the switch from the console. Reverse the procedure and check the washer for operation. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, September 18, 2017
