Hi, the door of my front loader won't lock, I have replaced the striker, but the part inside that receives it needs to be replaced. I have ordered the part, but do not know how to take the front of the washer off. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I believe you dont need to remove the front to change it. Look at the front of the rubber boot that attaches to the front of the washer, there may be a ring around it with a spring attached, if so, remove the ring and pull the boot off the front lip. with this off you should be able to unscrew the latch bracket and pull it over to disconnect the wiring and install the new one.
