Sorry, we couldn't find any existing installation instruction that matched.
Top of washer wasn't attached to base
First, let me start off by saying - this part wouldn't normally break. Because it's a stackable, and my dryer motor went out, the repair company had to move the entire unit from the cubicle. When the repairman tried moving it by using the washer lid ... lets just say he broke the clip. And then we could never get them to come fix the part they broke!

So, I finally ordered the part myself after studying schematics online. I am not a repair person. So, if I could figure this out - anyone can.

Take the middle cover between the washer and dryer off. There are 3 screws holding that panel on. Set the panel and screws aside. There are two "S" shaped clamps at the back. Lift (hard) the front of each one. They will snap free - freeing the whole top of the washing machine. The top has the lid connected. Pull the top towards the front and then rotate it counter-clockwise. It will come right off. This will free up the area the clips go on.

Take the lid completely off to get it out of the way. The clips fit in the holes on the front left and front right. The large square side goes up, and the small side snaps into the hole on the base. Make sure the groove is facing forward for the top cover to slide into. To get the clip to snap into the hole, put the front side down, and push (really hard) on the back side - the side towards the back of the washer. It should snap into place with some pressure.

Now, just put the top cover (with the lid attached) back on, rotate it clockwise, re-clamp it down and replace the middle panel and 3 screws.

Easy, right?

I don't know how to remove the upper front panel in order to replace this Whirlpool top lock WP345670. The top lock appears to be easy to replace, once upper front panel is removed.

Hi Robert, Thank you for your question. Here is a link to one of our YouTube videos that you may reference on how to disassemble your dryer, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57WmUZBC1sE. The dryer in the video may appear different from yours, but it will give you a general idea on how to disassemble it. We hope this helps! Good luck with the repair!
