To troubleshoot and maintain the Estate washer's main components you'll need to open or take off the top of the washing machine. Though it may sound difficult, removing the top of a Whirlpool Estate washer is relatively simple and can be accomplished in just minutes.
Things You Will Need
-
Unplug your Whirlpool Estate washing machine before attempting to service it.
-
Disconnect your Whirlpool Estate washer from its water supply during repair.
-
Use a small flashlight to illuminate the space underneath the top panel of the washer. Look for two small clips located about four inches in from the edges.
-
Slide a putty knife or flathead screwdriver underneath the top panel of the washer. Find the clips with the tip of the knife or screwdriver, and apply pressure to release them.
-
With the clips released, lift the top panel of the washer straight up. Slide the top panel back and out of your way while you complete repairs.
-
Remove the top panel completely, if desired, by using a screwdriver to unscrew the screws that attach the top panel to the washer cabinet.
