Remove the plastic trim pieces on the outside ends of the control board. Remove the screws that are exposed, one at each end. Once the screws are removed you can lift the control board up and swing it backwards out of the way. Unplug the wired connections in the top of the lid, which is the connection for the switch you want to replace. There are two springs clips, one on either side. Use a flat head screwdriver to remove these springs clips. Put the head of the screwdriver in the leading edge, closest to the front of the machine. Push the handle of the screwdriver towards the back, whch should allow the spring clips to come out of the top of the washer. Once these are removed, the entire body of the machine will tilt forward and can be removed from the machine. Once removed, you can lay it on it's side and access the switch. Sounds like a lot, but I can take in apart in 5 minutes or less.
