So again I tangle with a pair of GE RightHeight front loaders, this time the dryer is the problem.
If you recall in the past I fixed a washer of this ilk...while being transported in a move across the country (without strut braces reinstalled) the water hose that was stored inside for the journey became jammed between the basket and the tub. Also various struts were busted.
Anywho now I have a different set, red, bought on the cheap owing to the dryer not working.
Much to my chagrin the seller cleaverly kept the dryer under a tarp while I inspected the washer. He assured me the dryer “looked the same”. Long story short I paid him (my car fits one unit per load), came back for the dryer and noticed the (now uncovered) dryer control panel was a mess where someone had tried to remove it not knowing how. Always inspect the goods before paying, doh! 1.5 to 2 million dollar home too, in one of San Diego’s “nicest” areas lol.
It may just need a door switch replaced, but how to disassemble? The washer I know, this is different.
Any ideas?
I tried pushing the top backwards to no avail and there doesn’t seem to be any screws in the usual places. The previous attempts at entry have left the control panel, which is plastic, a little wavy, the aforementioned “mess”...I will need to try and smooth that out.
