Rocco S Rochester , NY February 24, 2017 Leaky drain hose Simply open the top of the washer by inserting a putty knife (watch YouTube ) and then the front panel by removing two bottom philips head screws on the front. The whole front panel comes right off. Using pliers the spring clams holding each hose, they come off and each hose is replaced. The drain one was only leaking but since it has open I changed both and even the drive belt. Whole job less than 1 hour. BTW parts arrived next day! 13 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes
