Installation Notes

Appliance technicians should disconnect power to the laundry center at the circuit breaker before beginning any console disassembly. Basic hand tools including a nut driver and flathead screwdriver are typically sufficient for console panel removal. Take care not to force or pry the console housing, as doing so may damage surrounding clips or wiring harnesses. Reassemble in reverse order and confirm the console lock seats fully before restoring power.
