Removing the Door
Remove the two, size 15 Torx
screws that secure the door
to the door hinge. (Fig. 4-6)
Removing the Door Switch
If the top cannot be removed, access to the door switch
requires that the porthole diaphragm be eased back from
the front of the washer. To do this, locate the retainer spring
and use a small tool to grab the hoop in the spring. (Fig. 4-7)
Pull the retainer forward and then off the perimeter of the
diaphragm.
Ease the edge of the
diaphragm off of the lip
of the washer front near

panel. (See "Removing the Porthole Diaphragm" to remove the
entire diaphragm.) The door switch is secured to the washer
front panel with two, size 15 Torx screws. (Fig. 4-9) Once these
screws are removed, the door switch will remain in place until
it is lifted slightly and pulled back from the washer panel. Then,
remove the wire plug from the door switch.
Removing the Porthole Diaphragm
The porthole diaphragm can be completely removed from the
outer rim of the tub assembly. Locate and remove the large
sprig that holds the porthole to the drum (Fig. 4-10). Pull the
diaphragm off the drum and out of the machine.
Note: The Heater Housing and Coil enter the boot at the 1 o' c lock
position. Use care not to damage the diaphragm.
