You need to remove the top by taking the screws out that are located at the rear top. Once those are out the top slides back and can be removed. Next, take the kick plate off by removing the screws that are located at the bottom of it. From there take the dispenser basket out, then remove the two screws there and the ones on top to remove the heading. Last take the four screws out that hold the final piece on.

SOURCE: My Whirlpool Duet Washer, model number WFW9400SW01 will not turn on. The button lock is off and does light up indicating power to the front panel/unit. Any ideas?

if you are mechanical and are not afraid of small wires you can try this. I had the exact same problem on my machine. i very slowly diasssembled the machine. not hard to do. removed the top. unscrews from the back and slides to the back to come off. remove the door. unsnap the plastic plate that goes around the door.it is held on by small snap clip that pop off if you use a small flat screw driver to pry it out. remove detergent tray. and screws that attach it to the inner box. now the hard part. remove the face plate. it unsnaps similar to large door plate.very carefully unclip the circuit boards. they are held in by plastic clips around the outside and white plastic clips in the middle. you must gently pry up and release these clips one at a time. a second person is helpful, so are small needle nose pliers. clean both circuit boards very gently with isopropyl alcohol and qtips. mositen the qtips and clean every inch of the boards. be very careful not to bend or crack anything. you must get all the yellowish flux and any other corrosion growing on the board off. there is one more board that must be cleaned. the power supply board. it is mounted on the top right side near where the face plate wire come through. this is not hard to remove it is held in by small clips. the tricky part is the wires. they are all designed so they cannot be plugged in incorrectly but i have seen what people are capable of. make a map. number them with a sharpie so you know where they go. remove this board and clean it the same way. this on will probably be the worst offender. i cleaned all the boards reassembled and it works like new. below the door is a panel that should also be removed. there is a removable drain filter that should be cleaned out. i found pens and toys in mine. the machine could not pump out the water fast enough and would shut down and trigger f70 and f 20 codes.

SOURCE: Rotting Smell from Whirlpool Duet Front Loading Washer

Take the panel off of the front of your washer below the door and in the middle there is a round removable plastic door like piece. Take it out and clean out all of the junk in behind it. You might find loose change, nails and a variety of other thnigs that have become stuck in there besides mold. This will help with the smell and also the water that sometimes remains in your washer after the cycle is over. You need to do this once/twice year.

SOURCE: model: wfw9500tw01 f35 error

F35 is a water level error.
The water level switch (pressure switch) has malfunctioned.

If you remove the top panel, three screws in the back, you will have access to the pressure switch.

With the tub empty, remove the vinyl hose from the switch and blow backwards through the hose to clear any restrictions.

If the fault codes return after doing this, you will likely need to replace the pressure switch.


Also - please be sure to use He soap.

F02 error on whirlpool front load washer. How do you open the kick panel?

Depending upon what model you have, most kick plates are removed by taking the 3 or 4 (1/4 inch or torque) screws out located underneath the kick plate. Note that not all front load washers have a kick plate so be sure that there is a prominent gap between the upper most region and the small lower region being the kick plate.

I have a whirlpool stackable washer and dryer.Model Lte6234Dt3 Serial Ms2102958. I need to replace the water pump. Do I need to remove the washer skin to do this?

Hello,

To replace the pump you need to remove the front panel of the washer to do that. To do that remove the diagoal panel between the control panel and and washer top. Usea flat blade screwdriver and pop up the brass clips in the rear of washer top,slide top out and off,the their will be screws on the side panels that hold the front panel on the left side must remove the hose asm. to fill spout to get to screw for front panel thats under fill tube asm.

Good luck, i hope this helps and if it does please give me 4 thumbs up

I'm trying to remove the front panel on my front load washer. The model number is WFW 9200 SQ 01. How do I change that electronic control board that is behind the buttons you press to opperate it?

you dont need to remove the front of the washer to get to the control board. remove the top panel by removing the screws at the top in the back. top panel should now slide off. control board will now be visible.

I have a wet\moldy odor coming from our Whirlpool Duet Front Load Washer, Model WFW9400S. I opened the washer cabinet up and don't see anything like pooling water or a dead animal. I did notice the hose...

with all the environmental changes made to laundry detergents, consumers should use only 1/2 the amount of detergent they previously used. The detergent build up causes a moldy odor in the washer.
