- Some control panels need to be unscrewed and if yours does not look like the design in this video, see my other videos. You can get most replacement parts on amazon → amzn.to/2f0MQod

I have a Maytag Centennial washer and these methods worked perfectly. It saved me a lot of time as I was approaching removal from the back side of the washer instead of the front. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. After days of searching viseos and manuals you are the FIRST who explained this properly.
Just what I needed, I had no clue. First try was rough, cut thumb and swearing, then I used a screwdriver shank to compress the spring from underneath and tipped the panel up at the same time, made It pretty easy. Fixed my door switch In one hour thanks to you.
Oh my gosh!! You just saved me from having to make a service call!!! Spatula technique worked perfectly for me!! 7 years later and your video is still helpful!!! Big thank you!!
Thanks for making this. Just helped me make my way to the pump to remove my baby girl's sock. Saved me money right before Christmas.
Super helpful. Just used your video to help me get into the head unit of my 19 year old dryer to replace the circuit board. Much appreciation to you!
Thank You! Just got one of these that was used in a summer home for my fabric studio. Needed to bypass the lid switch, couldn't have done it without this video showing how to flip up the top panel.
THANK YOU!!!!! I've been trying to figure this out and I couldn't find any other videos to show me. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this.
Now please show us how to remove the front panel of the machine.
After watching other videos that seemed to drag on I found yours. I too was lucky as one suspension rod had slipped and I easily reconnected. Thank you for a helpful, concise how to video.
Very nice and clear video explaining how to open the panel and showing exactly how the clips work. I watched another video that, if I'd followed his advice, would have sent me down a rabbit hole of disassembly.
Thanks. This was difficult to figure out without knowing what was where. Your video was very clear and helpful.
I just used method 2. Brilliant video. Exactly what I needed. Thanks
Thank you. Your video was the only straight forward video to help me open my 2008 maytag performa washer. Now I can try to figure out why it won't dispense water
I could not had done it without this video! The scapula worked the best.
THANK YOU!!! Had to go through so many videos til I finally found something that worked! Second method is best!
B, OMG spent 3 hours trying to get the front panel open! Thanks for the tip mine had the clips worked great!
Thank you for posting that. All a guy needs is the right info and strong thumbs and the cover was off providing the access I needed to remove the control board.
Tx for video! I was going nuts and talkin to myself over this clip! I took the washer apart and made the repairs needed and was done except for the beeping clips! Tx again for post this before I hit the bottle lol!
Just what I needed. Thank you for taking the time to help others!
GREAT video! Thank you!! I was at it for a few hours until I searched and searched and found your video. It's the only video that helped!! Thanks again!
Thank you! I've spent the past two days trying to figure this out.
Thank you so much. The water level rotary switch got stuck. Your video showed me how to properly access the switch after which I was able to adjust it so it doesn't hang up!!
Option two is much easier. Thanks for this video, I saw so many showing that I needed to remove screws and whatnot from the back, which I did not.
I just did this after watching your video. You are the man.
Thank you that was very clearly explained same as the comment below me I searched other videos but couldn't figure out how to get the control panel up
Thank you very much for making this video! You saved me a lot of time! I had to replace the main Control Board. I bought a used part from eBay . And my washing machine has been working great for about a month now!
I hope you are OK . I noticed you haven't made any videos recently.
Thanks for the info on this washer. Saved us alot of time and money by being able to get the part and change it out oursleves.
Thank you so much!!! I had such a hard time finding a video to match my washer and this was perfect.
I'm not sure why anyone would dislike this video. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing. Although when you said it is a pain to get those clips out, you were correct!
I have this exact same washer. I replaced the lid switch a few years ago after the cheap plastic tension clip gave out. Ever since the lid wouldn't engage the switch reliably. I blamed the bad design of the switch because it does not seat tightly in the hole in the washer top (if you've replaced it, you know what I'm talking about). For years, my wife and I have been Fonzie style hammer punching the top of the washer near the switch to get it to engage. I finally got around to installing a new switch just now and it didn't help. Then I noticed the metal rod that engages the switch is held by two small screws in the lid. The screws were just a tiny-ensy weensy bit loose. I tightened those screws and BAM. The switch engages like a charm. We've been punching the crap out of this washer for years because of two tiny, barely loose screws.
I had to tell the internet. So there. Done.
And nice vid btw. It helped remind me how to get to the lid switch.
Once again, you have saved my behind. Method 2 that I used before nearly worked, so the Method one lesson taught me what to do when it does not! It is sad we even need these videos at all. But you come through for us!
Tremendous video, I changed the switch in less than 3 minutes. Spent more time vacuuming dust behind the washer. Thanks!!
Thanks. This is the only video that I found that shows this type of connection and how to remove the control panel. It's a neat design, it's just a shame that maytag makes these machines with hidden fasteners and hides this information from the customers. I will probably never buy from maytag/ whirlpool because of this.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I already tried the first method but I don't have enough strength 💪 in my fingers, so I'm gonna try the second one.
Thank you. I hate working in these blasted machines. The spatula method worked best for me.
Thanks and Merry Christmas !!
Thanks for this video, exactly what I needed!!!
HOLY SMOKES!!!! Thank you so much for your GREAT video!!!!
Thank you!!! This video was exactly what I was looking for
Thank you! Your video was just what was needed to get to that control switch 👌💪
Awesome video. Precise and to the point.
1st method Worked like a charm!!! Thanks
thank you very very ... much!!!
I have to replace the Swtch-Temp, now it will be very easy!
Lots of these on CZcams... This one was THE BEST for showing how to work with those clips under the Console ! THANKS!
Good job...your helping people..thank you!
This is exactly like mine, I need to replace the timer and watched several other videos but cannot get the knob off, wondering if you know how?
any ideas on how to get to the water intake valve?? I need to place it in my maytag but the back is a solid piece of metal....
I have this machine. Need to know what else could cause imbalance during spin cycle beside springs
I tried method one, hit a spider web, yanked my hand out (by instinct) a sliced open 2 inches of my wrist today. After I cleaned up the wound and all the blood, I ended up using method two lol Next time I'll wear my gloves so I don't have that problem again! I'm super grateful for this video, thank you so much!
SPIDERS!!! Nobody can blame you for the freak out! Sorry to hear you got a battle wound but it sounds like you got it done in the end.
I need to replace a start switch on Maytag legacy dryer. How can I get control panel open and get switch ou?? Thx
How do you open the top of the washer after this part? Thanks.
Well made video. Thanks for putting this up.
Method 2 worked great!! Thank You!!
Thanks!!!!! Great video...saved me so much time
Very helpful and to the point. Thanks.
Very helpful, Thanks.
thanks , how can I change the solenoid valve of Mytag top load washing machine thanks in advance
How do you fix the knob that changes the washing cycles? I have this same washing machine but idk how to fix it. Will you make a video for that?
Help!! As you warned, I dropped the spring clip. Anyway to retrieve???
Thanks I just fixed my washer using method 2. Thank you.
Thank you very good explaination, well made!
Great instructional video... thanks.
Great tutorial. Thank you buddy
Thank you Adam. God bless.
What make an model is the particular machine. Thank You
Muchísimas gracias, bien explicado
Very helpful thank you
Thank you for this video
Thank you. Used a combo of method 1 and 2.
Have to pull timer knob multiple times before the machine starts, other times on 1st or 2nd pull. Replace timer?
How do u change the timer on that same kind of washer??
Great video, They sure are super sneaky, they don't want us in there do they? But you have 2 sneaky ways to get in. LOL. Thanks
How do I access the switch on a Whirlpool thin twin, It seems to have come apart - We can turn the timer with a needle nose pliers but there is no way to know what part of the cycle it is in, the first thing that went wrong was the knob came off (push to stop and pull to start). Then the rest seemed to fall back.
i thought the sarcasm @ the end was the best part but thanx that methods helped!!!
Great video. Thank you
thanks how to repair or replace the door safety hidden button on this model thank you in advance
Thanks for sharing!
Thankyou very much that helped alot
Hey Adam, that was very informative for me as I am trying to remove the outer casing because the left panel on the far bottom got bent and it came loose. So, I am trying to figure out a way to bang out the dent and replace the panel back so that I can screw it back in. It is an old Maytag Dependable care washer. Model no. MTW5700TQ0 and I can not find one video that shows you how to do that on this particular model. Hope you can help.
Thanks for the video. I couldn't figure out how to remove the panel because there aren't any visible screws.
Thank you so much man!!!!!
Thank you! Now if only there was a way to get these clips out without busting my knuckles when they slip out of my hand. haha
Hi...
What happens if you drop the clips in the machine🤦🏾♀️ i was trying to follow another video..and accidentally dropped them down the hole. Im trying to check my drain hose to see if its clogged because my machine won't star washing. It starts up the it knocks..but won't fill the tub or spin.
This and $30 in parts saved me over $150 for service call. Thanks!
Thanks man!
How do I remove the complete cabinet to locate a leak?
Anyone know if its a big deal if one of the clips falls in? Mine fell in, oops!
Plastic spatula?!? GENIUS!
HI I have one just the same washer you have, I lift the lid up while my washer it's spinning to stop the washer then I want to wash my cloth again I pull up the start knock the washer it doesn't do anything at all, no water filling no any noise at all BUT when i turn the knock to spin then the washer it is spinning, what's wrong with my washer. please help me out.
Worked on a Bravos XL. Was not able to get a spatula underneath, so scratches on the top from the metal spatula. Next time maybe I'll try to put some tape down. Or maybe I just wasn't holding the start button long enough. Nah, couldn't be that.
Method 2 is a good one
Thanks alot you helped me🌹
THANK YOU!
use a large flat screw driver under the console lip and pop it up just like forever on washers/drayers
Best method for a Roper, please?
thank you very helpful
Clip is somewhere in machine, what do I do now?
Thank you Sir
