Whirlpoor Washer Leak - How do I remove the front panel
 

We have a stacked Whirlpool washer/dryer. It has started to develop a
leak and after tilting it back and looking underneath, it is coming
from the water pump. Without pulling it out of the closet and laying
it on its back, I cannot figure out how to gain access to the pump.
It is located in the lower front area. The back of the machine is
closed off so I cannot go in that way. It looks like there are some
sliding clasps on the lower sides and the upper sides might be screwed
in. Does anyone know how to remove the front panel?

Whirlpoor Washer Leak - How do I remove the front panel
 

Hi Allen,

Need a model number, but if it's a full-sized 27in stack, the washer
cabinet'll come off in similar fashion to the standard washers. Once
the cab's off, this job's really easy. I have instructions posted on my
website:

But send me your model number & I'll double-check it.

Dave,

The model number is Whirlpool Thin-Twin large capacity (I can post
the number when I get home). It is a stacked washer-dryer.
Thanks,

AS
