How to Take Apart a Whirlpool LA7000XTW0
- 1). Unplug the washing machine from the wall outlet.
- 2). Remove the two screws that secure the control panel to the top of the washing machine. Depending on the model, the screws are located either on the left and right sides of the front or on rear of the panel.
- 3). Rotate the control panel up 180 degrees. The control panel has hinges, and it is designed to rotate up for repairs.
- 4). Disconnect the lid switch wire connector by squeezing the tab and pulling the connector away from the washer.
- 5). Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the front of the two spring clips, located at the top of the washer. Pry the spring clips out of the top of the washer.
- 6). Tilt the entire cabinet toward you. Slide the bottom forward, away from the washer, then lift the cabinet to remove.
