Do-It-Yourself Story

I bought a new instrument panel, unplugged the wash machine and replaced the panel. It was heald on by 3 screws. The switches and boards are either screwed on or twist to latch onto the panel. The knobs are retained on the panel and require a pliers to pinch the lock tabs so the knobs can be pulled from the old panel. Put the switches and boards on the new panel and attach the new panel to the wash machine with the 3 screws. Once panel is attached install the knobs on the new panel. Plug the machine in and you are done. FYI, don't try lifting the machine by the top cover plate. You will break the instrument panel, which sets you back 95 bucks.
