Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Dryer Top Panel Spring Clip Lock (Part Number: OEM18016968)

1 Answer

Jamie,

This unit does not use lock clips to hold the top to the base. The main top is held in by screws and to access this you will need to use a putty knife and get under the control panel endcaps to push the push clips. There will then be 2 clips that you would release and then slide the cabinet off and be able to get to the screws.
