Things are indeed slid and snapped on. Here's the drill: First, remove those two little screws at the bottom front corners of the console. Now, lift up on the console from the bottom; it swings up on a hinge. Swing it up and back. You will now see two weird-looking gold-colour clips. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, pry the clips loose. There will also be a little wire harness for the lid switch; unplug its connector. Once you've done those things, the entire cabinet just tilts forward and lifts away from the front. To reinstall the cabinet, you need to be certain that the cabinet engages the two tabs at the front of the base that the direct-drive components sit on. I'm including a linkie for your reference. For all the shortcomings of Whirly DD's, the cabinet design is the best in the business. CLICK HERE TO GO TO danemodsandy's LINK |

Also check the counterbalance spring at the rear of the tub. If it is broken off its mount, the tub will lean forward and hit the cabinet when spinning. The spring is mounted to a hole in the base frame of the washer. |
