PANEL-CNTL

I watched a you tube video of how to perform the repair. First I unplugged the washing machine before beginning the repair. Turned the water valve off and then disconnected the water line from the back of the washing machine with pliers.I used the nut driver to remove the screws/nut type heads from the metal cover from the back of washing machine .This gives you access to slide the top of the washing machine forward.The top of the washing machine has to be moved forward to lift the top upward. Tape can be used to prevent the washing machine lid from opening and possibly getting damaged. I just held onto the lid and rested it against my basement wall. The control panel has two bent shaped metal brackets that must be pushed slightly forward. Then the control panel can be removed to begin removing the control board. There are 6-7 bolt head screws to remove from the backside of the control panel. This permits the removal of the control board and unplug the wire from the control board. Then you just reverse the process to put everything back together. I recommend placing the various screws from the control board and the screws from the back of the machine that holds the metal cover separated. This was the first time I attempted a repair to a washing machine and went very well . I hope this helps you out on this type of repairs .
