4. Reach up from the bottom and hold the switch
while removing the two screws from the front.
Then drop the switch assembly out the bottom.
NOTE: The connectors can be disconnected from
the bottom, but it is more difficult.
Removing the bellows (door boot):
1. If the machine has a dryer stacked on top, or is
positioned in such a way that it would be difficult to
move, you will be better off leaving it where it is.
However, if it is possible, it is easier to do this job if
the machine can be leaned back against a wall protect
the wall with cloth or rug). By leaning it back, the
tubs will hang back from the (non-removable) front
panel and you will have increased space to work. If
leaning it back is not possible, then a 6 or 8 inch
block of wood can be wedge between the front panel
and the tub to hold the tub back out of the way.
2. The boot is attached to a lip around the perimeter
of the opening on the front panel and is glued on in
spots about three inches apart, all the way around.
Use a razor blade and carefully slice the glued spots
on the boot away from the front panel.
3. Once the boot is loose from the front panel, push it
into the opening of the tub and out of the way.
At this point, if the machine is not leaning back,
take your block of wood and while pushing back on
the tub through the opening, wedge the block between
the front panel and the tub about ten inches to the
bottom - right of the opening. This will afford you
more space to work with the boot.
