You will not require any special tool to replace the parts but you will need the last digit of your model number to receive the right parts.

The model number can be found on a tag on the left side of the door opening.

To remove the handle of the washer there are two screws. The type of screwdriver that you will need is called a torx.

To replace the start button you will have to remove the control panel.

To remove the control panel you will have to remove the top of the washer to access the screw to the console.

Disconnect the touch pad/LED ribbon connector from the left side of the central control.

Remove the detergent dispenser drawer by pressing down on the release tab at the back of the drawer and pulling it completely out of the washer.

Remove the screw in the recessed hole next to the drawer opening.

Release the tab securing the right side of the console to the washer and remove the console. Be sure the ribbon cable clears the cabinet frame.

Remove the cycle selector knob.

There are eight tabs securing the touch pad to the console. Use a flat blade screwdriver to release these tabs.

Release the tabs in sequence from left to right around the touch pad.
