How do I remove the cabinet from my direct drive Whirlpool/Kenmore/Roper/KitchenAid washer?
• If you have ever tried to check out the direct drive washer manufactured by Whirlpool Corp., you found out pretty quickly that you can’t hardly do anything until the cabinet is removed. The older Whirlpool Corp. washers with a belt do not have a removable cabinet. While it may sound like a pain to have to remove the cabinet, in reality it is really simple, and it makes getting to the parts a breeze. All you need is a Phillips screwdriver and a flat blade screwdriver. First step, of course is to unplug the machine. Then remove the 2 Phillips screws on the bottom of the timer console. The timer console in hinged in the back. Pull the console forward slightly to clear the hooks on the bottom of the end caps, and roll the console up from the bottom on it’s hinges. Under the console you will see a 3 wire harness that is plugged into the top of the cabinet. Unplug this harness. Using the flat blade screwdriver, pop off the 2 metal clips that are holding the back panel to the top of the cab
