Answer

Hello Sam. Disconnect the power to the unit. Remove the two screws in the back corners of the control panel securing the control panel. Pull the control panel forward and flip it backwards. Next unplug the lid switch and remove the two brass colored clips securing the cabinet to the back wall using a flat blade screwdriver to pry them out. Pull on the front of the cabinet and slide the cabinet off the frame of the washer. Once removed, you will remove the tub ring and the agitator out of the inner tub. Then remove the nut and inner bracket out of the washer. You can now access and replace the drive block WP389140. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps.
