Hello David. You control panel has two clips under the front corners. You will release those with a flat blade putty knife and flip the control panel back to access the switch like the video shows. Then it will work the same way on replacing the switch.

J Ray, The place to start is the water temperature switch WP8577786, and check the wiring harness routed between the temperature switch and the delay control timer W10860734, mounted on the back of the regular timer. If the printed circuit board inside the temperature swith has a failure, it can disrupt the timer sequence, as well as not allow the washer to fill and agitate in the wash cycle.

Barbara, Yes the ITW4300SQ model number is an "Inglis" heavy duty extra large capacity washing machine produced by Whirlpool Corp. You are probably located in Canada, that's where the majority of this brand washer is located and sold. If the washer will not spin/drain and only hums, the likelihood of a faulty clutch is very low. If the washer will fill and agitate, it's most likely a fault in the timer W10199989 if the washer neither agitates or spin/drain, and only hums then it's more likely a motor 661600 issue.
