To replace the gasket you will have to take the front off the washer.

Remove the top panel by taking out the three screws in the top cover.

Remove the three screw at the back of the top panel.

Slide the top panel back two inches and lift off.

Remove the lower service panel remove the three Phillips-head screw along the bottom edge of the panel and pull the panel down.

To remove the control panel start by removing the dispenser.

Pull the dispenser out to the stop position. Press down on the lock tab and pull the dispenser out.

Remove the single Phillips screw from the control panel dispenser recess.

Remove the 4 Phillips screws that attach the top of the control panel to the control panel cover.

From inside the cabinet lift and push forward to release the bottom tab from the front bracket.

Lift the top edge of the panel to disengage the 3 tabs that hold the top of the panel in place.

Push the control panel toward the left, then release the side tab.

Disconnect the 9 wire harnesses from the control panel.

Remove the 3 screws that hold the door lock to the front panel.
