Pull the dryer away from the wall far enough to access the back. 4. Remove the three hex-head screws from the rear flange of the dryer’s top cover. NOTE: The top cover screws have nylon flat washers on them. Be sure to use these screws when you reinstall the top cover.5.

Hi Randa. You need to remove power. Then you need to remove the 3-torx t-20 screws that hold the top on at the back of the top. Then slide the top back about 1" and lift up and off. The control board is part # WP8546219. It is mounted on the lt.side from the front view. ground your hands over and over a few times to get rid of the static ground so you do not ruin the new board. Use a cell phone for pictures if needed. Take notes of all electrical connections as they are on the board so you replace them correctly. It is best if you can only take one off at a time and put them on the board. Just touch the corners of the board. Thank You.
