Control Panel - Black

1 - Unlugged power cord.

2 - Reviewed main plastic panel to see where required screws were located.

3 - Removed 8 screws on inside stainless panel.

4 - Separated the loose panel while removing screws holding the front plastic bezel in place. Removed two screws hold latch in place.

5 - Noticed that two screws were holding the PC board down plus a retaining nub on the plastic piece. Removed screws and held PC board out of way.

6 - Pulled off plastic splash shield held down with sticky gunk.

7 - Was a little difficult keeping the front door panel separated from the inside panel while doing all the work.

8 - Installed new handle into latch device and then attached to inside of door.

9 - Put it all back together twice after forgetting to install the two PC board screws. Oops.

10 - Felt confident the repair was correct when done.

Parts arrived as promised. Web exploding details insured exact replacement part.

Maytag repair man 1 year ago caused most of the damage after I took the front cover off - the repairman broke off most of the screws holding the front panel in place leaving me to replace the front assembly.

The repair was easy - save yourself and do it yourself vs paying someone alot of money to only make it worse in the long run...

Disconnect power. Open door and weigh down with a fairly heavy object so door does not spring up. utilizing the nut driver remove all screws on the perimeter of inside door. Lift up back of door exposing the back side of front panel. Loosen / remove fasteners for circuit board and carefully remove without breaking friction clips. Remove flex glued protection sheet from old panel to reinstall on new. Discard old panel and put back together with new panel.

Definably needs two people. One to do the work and the other to help (just hold stuff) watch the plastic parts. Take your time it's easier than it first looks.
