I have this washer and watched this video trying to figure out how to open it up. I tried this method for about half an hour and then gave up and called a repair man. The repair man popped it open in one minute. Here's what you do. (As best as I can remember. It was a few weeks ago.) I'll call "the console" the part of the washer with all the knobs on it. 1. Stand facing the washer. 2. Slide a putty knife or some other flat metal object under the console (between the console and the top of the washer) on the left front. It will release a latch. 3. Do the same on the right front. It will release a second latch. 4. The console will swing up and back, hinging on the back of the washer. 5. Each latch will have a metal hinge type thing that you remove, allowing the console to swing all the way back. 6. Now the whole metal body cover of the washer can be lifted away, so that you're left with the washer drum and machinery still attached to the back that has all the cords.
This is a whirlpool built machine from around 2007 built in benton harbor. On some of these you can turn the timer backwards when it’s pushed in to set your desired cycle but never turn it backwards

I cannot thank you enough for this!

I thought these were the Centennial series.
