I have been trying to get my cabinet back on for a couple hours now. At one point I seriously considered throwing the thing down the apartment stairs outside. After watching this video, it took me 2 minutes to get the damn thing on. You've saved a washing machines life today.
I know this is 8 years old, and your son is probably out of high school by now! but if you’re still reading the comments, this was still extremely helpful. The lighting didn’t matter because your explanation was so good. Thanks. And thanks for being such a great dad! It shows.
@@Okie-TomI did not recognize him, and I have watched a lot of his videos. I do remember him passing. Was sad to read it or however I found out. He was one of the ones I watched most when I got interested in appliances.
thank you for not editing that out. it is a reminder that you need a clear workspace and it is not always as easy as others make it look. I'm currently trying to get my cover replaced and this was very helpful.
Thank you so much. i,m 62 and do my own maintenance ever since i watched a repair man charge me so much for something so simple. I knew I could do repairs myself with some help from the experts. I had never had my washing machine apart before so this was very helpful, I changed my water intake valves. I did get it back together on first try , thank you very much. You are on my bookmarks.
Thank you so much! I actually watched another video to learn how to replace my lid switch assembly but they didn't really specify how to put the cabinet back on properly. My son and I struggled and struggled and it wasn't going on right but then I found your video and I was able to put it on by myself in seconds! Thanks again!
Thank you. I am a 60 year old lady and you helped me complete the replacement of my washer's lid switch. One look at your video and the outer cover went right on.
I really need to make a newer version of this video! I didn't realize how bad it was until I just watched it. I haven't actually watched this video in years. However, every single comment left on here, is AWESOME!!
+Bill Newberry It's still relevant Bill! I just used it to reattach my cabinet after pulling a sock out of the pump! Thanks for your hard work! I know what it's like to put a video together and post it for all to see!
im needing to remove and replace the motor coupling on my washine machine.how can i remove the case if it doesnt have screws just plastic parts in the back.
The only criticism I have is when you put the front of the cabinet under the frame. A bright flashlight would help your camera to pickup the details. Good video and still relevant almost 9 years later.
Bill, I'm a handyman, I have problems with the washer not spiking and draining the water out. I did everything wrong, like other viewers, I removed the control panel and the back off. I installed a new lid switch but the problem continued. I wish I watched your video first. I think you showed me what is wrong with my machine and how easy will be to fix it. THANK YOU so much, you made my day!
Bless you for making these two videos. I helped my next door neighbor fix his washer and these videos kept us from destroying the cabinet. We did somehow whack the water pump in the removal process causing it to leak, but it looked like it was on it's way out already. The reason for the plastic pieces at the back of the cabinet is to eliminate any rattle between the metal parts. Thank-you a million times over!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! I'm 66 years old, and a renter. My landlord isn't really on top of things when it comes to taking care of issues here, so I do whatever I can around here. I've seen a few other videos on how to replace the motor coupling, but they never show how to put the cabinet back on properly. When I put the machine back together before watching this video, when I tried to move the washing machine, let's just say it didn't go smoothly. Seriously, I really appreciate this. Again, thank you.
This was the ticket Bill. I have used TH-cam to keep my washers going, and the case was always wonky afterwards.Today I changed a coupler, and had the same problem. I just sat there and studied it until I discovered the front lip went UNDER the frame. That got me thinking and then I found and straightened the bent pins on the sides. But it still did not all come together until I watched you show how to do it, and in tight quarters. You just made my day! Thank you for making this video!
Dude, you saved my butt tonight. I'm not mechanically inclined by any stretch of the imagination. We ordered a replacement motor coupling from Amazon thinking it was causing our issue. Got everything taken apart, fixed the part (that was definitely the issue, it was in pieces). but we spent over an hour fooling around with trying to get the cabinet back on. Finally came here, found your video and in 5 minutes we have it in place. Thank you sir!
This is from a wife: thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! Imy husband and I have worked on my 23 year old Kenmore and I think it has been years since the cabinet was on right. We tried, but until we saw your video, we just didn't know to get the front under the lip. No more banging and rattling while it spins.
I am hot and sweaty but I feel so confident. I could not have completed this project without your video. I was able to take my washer apart and remove and install the lid switch. When I was trying to replace the body I could never get the thing to line up no matter what. After watching your video, I replaced the body in one motion, had the parts reconnected and the washer is spinning like it is brand new. (My Dad laughed when I came in the kitchen looking tired and crazy; he asked trouble? I was able to laugh and say nope, the washer is working perfect and I am just cleaning up. Thank you so much for your help and making it so simple.
I spent 1/2 an hour trying to get the cabinet back on - THEN I watched your video and had it back on in 30 seconds. Thank you so much for this video - sometimes it is the seemingly simple things that make a job feel difficult.
I was finally done with fixing an old Kenmore washer & feeling very proud of myself until I had to get that (F bomb) cabinet back on. After struggling for over 30 minutes, I gave up & searched for a "How to ..." video & found you. Thank you for explaining the proper "technique" for reattaching the outer case ("easy as that"🤨) & 13 years later your video is still making people smile!!!
Thank you! You taught me how to diagnose, then bypass the problem with the lid switch (the "old lady" stayed happy until I could buy the part). Then I couldn't get the damn cabinet back on until I found this video. You rock. And your kid is a great videographer! Thanks Bill!
Bill, thanks for making a video specifically for this task. I'd finished replacing the coupler and realized I didn't know how to close the box, and your video helped a ton.
Thanks !!! I gave up on it last night but will try it again now that I have watched your video. You are great to post this for people like me who are handy-challenged.
Thanks Bill, I have done this so many times it used to be a "non-event" thing. didn't even need to think about it. Then today, I met a washer that just had it's own idea of what was going to happen. 30 minutes of on/off/ on/off and a smack down.... Frustration rising, I sat and watched your video. I have done it many times, instinct/reflex Off/on-- no problem. I guess it was just the moment to breath I needed to walk back in there and 2 minutes later all was right with the world again. Your video is fine, no nonsense, a little dark but hey, its a basement laundry room... looks just like mine. Couldn't have done it had it been light and airy, would not have been realistic, would have been too "fluffy", couldn't work under fluffy" conditions..... Thanks again. Something so silly and simple and there ya go. Just needed the 11:44 break to gather my wits.
Really. Thank you very much after more than half an hour trying to figure it out myself. I saw your video and it was like eating bread. It fell on its place like a glove in no time. Sometimes just apparently simple things like that need a detailed video like this. Teach your son too so he becomes a handyman like his dad!!
Thanks, I removed the cabinetry following another video. They just said to tip 45 degrees and lift. I couldn't get the damned thing on again. Found your video and despite the poor lighting your commentary told me everything I needed to know. Front goes under lip while at 45 and then tip back straight. So thanks. NOTE: to anyone trying it, the rear edge of the cabinet can slice through fingers. Found that the hard way before watching this vid when the cabinet went on wrong and got hooked up on one side.
My husband has put hours into trying to put the cabinet back on after putting a new lid switch in.... Until I pulled your video up, and then he had the washer put back together and fully functional within 5 minutes 😄 he is very great full to you, but pissed he didn't watch you sooner lol!! Thanks!
I see you made this video years ago but I wanted to let you know that I spent hrs off and on trying to get the doggone cabinet back on!! I found so many videos that helped me get to the drain pump and replace it but NONE of them showed me how to get it back on. I was even looking for parts on my garage floor because I was sure there had to be peices missing. Thank you!!
Man!!!! Just to change the cold water inlet valve!!! The valve was a piece of 🍰!!! That cabinet was playing more games that SHAQ!! So glad that's over and done with! Couldn't have done it without you buddy!!! Thx a million and may God bless you and yours!!🙏😉
Thank u I'm 74 watched someone's video not yrs.cold not put case back on found yr video thank u sooo much i am a great grandma prayed for help and you did help me bless u and yr son..
Thank you Bill. Watched several videos on repairing the washer and I was able to successfully tear down my washer and completely repair it, but wasn't able to get the cabinet back on securely. No videos went through the steps needed. I didn't have the front lip of the cabinet slid under the frame and one side was not on the pin, so it was wobbling. Very frustrating to hear "Well, it works great now, but the whole thing is shaky." I watched your video and, in 30 seconds, I was able to get my cabinet remounted securely. Greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much Bill!!! I don't know what I'd do without your videos! You are the BEST!!! This is my first time writing a message for a youtube video. I couldn't figure out how to write my own comment so I just replied to yours. I just had to let you know how thankful I am!
The man, the legend right here! I can't tell you how many times I have used one of your videos to fix something!! Being a 5ft 5, 105 pound female, I struggle a lot with trying to do stuff myself, but once again, you have done it! After fixing the clutch in my washer, the cabinet sat "just there", but not actually put back on, for about a year because I just couldn't figure it out..... But then I watched this, and, are ya ready? It did go on, the first time! But only with the added Big Daddy flashlight falling next to me and scaring me half to death! So I thank you, you have once again allowed me to prove that I can do it!
OMG THANK YOU. I spent my morning taking apart the washer and troubleshooting and for the life of me couldn't remember how the heck the casing went back on! The over under thing I had no clue until you showed us, thank you!
Bill - Thanks for making this video! Even though we couldn't see too much when you aimed the camera inside the front of the cabinet, it was still extremely helpful! We had struggled with it for over an hour, and then decided to go to TH-cam. We should always do that first! Seeing the little clips on the outside edge at the bottom, and drawing our attention to the plastic strips on the edges of the back really helped us get it lined up correctly. We hadn't removed the cabinet to do a repair - it got knocked out of place when the washer had an unbalanced load and was banging around like crazy! I guess I didn't run fast enough to get it stopped and re-balanced. Thanks again for the great explanations, and showing a realistic situation in the basement. Keep up the great video-making!
This video not only saved me a lot of time and effort, but saved my washing machine from the 9 iron beating that I was about to let loose. Thanks again for your assistance.
😮 thank you very much even though I was almost in tears before I found your video and I know what my problem is. I need a son to help but I got it done. Thank you very much. You have made me one happy mama to have clean, laundry and not have to chase my washing machine cover across the garage.😮😊❤
Bill, you are awesome! I used your other videos to repair a Kenmore that would not spin and ended up replacing both the clutch and the coupler, which were both severely worn. Believe it or not, getting the case back on was the hardest part of the whole job, so I came back to your TH-cam channel and you helped me out with this additional instructional video! Total cost to get this Kenmore working again: $22 for parts and a few hours of my time! Thank you!!
Thank you so much me and my wife are verrry thankful, I went through the whole process of checking my pump to make sure it wasn't clogged and that's when I found this gem
Great video! After fighting to get my washer back together 3 times, I found this video. Took me less than 10 minutes, and I've already ran a load of wash. Works great!
Thank you Bill! I had an inch or two on either side of the washer, so not much room for maneuvering. Your video helped me line everything up correctly and get that cover on right.
Your video just saved me a whole lot of swearing, frustration and misery for everyone around me that had the bad luck of wandering in to see "how I was doing." LOL! Thanks for this. Just telling people about where the lips of the cabinet were supposed to go was enough to get me on the right track but my "tight side" dropped in the first time and I only had to fight with the "open space" side to get it right. Thank you thank you!
Thank you so much for this informative video. You made this video when my Whirlpool washer was brand new. Almost exactly 8 years to the day from when I bought the washer new, the drain pump started leaking. Your video helped me get the cover back on. I wrestled with the blame thing for a couple hours and decided to go looking for some tips and pointers on how to put it back. Despite so many other videos that show how to fix different things on these washers, seemed like nobody covered the hardest part of the fixes -- the cover. Again, thank you and thumbs up!!
Thanks very much. I had to take mine off to get my washer up on a pallet . The one leg had gone through the crack on the pallet and I was trying to get it set up right again. Added a piece of wood underneath on the pallet. With the help of my daughter, got the washer set straight on the pallet again and replaced the cover. Brilliant!
Thank you thank you thank you! Even with my disabilities I fixed my washer by myself (the lid switch had to be replaced) and shocked the heck out of my husband (who thought he had to fix it after work) all in one day! I never would have figured it out without your videos. Thanks again!
This video was SO needed! I found a tutorial on how to change the lid switch, but that guy's instructions/demo of putting the cabinet back on was not helpful. It took me three tries, but I finally got it back on! Thank you SOOO much for helping me out on this.
oh my gosh you just helped me so much! I replaced the lid switch and couldn't put the cabinet back on. The video I used showed how to remove it but didn't show how put it back on. I'm surprising my boyfriend and didn't want to ask for his help. Thanks a bunch. Now to put my new garbage disposal in.
Fiddled with the cabinet for over a half hour but with your tips was able to reassemble in less than 5 minutes....I wish I would have watched your video before I allowed myself to get so frustrated. Thanks so much!!!!!
Thank you. It was a struggle for me but I did it! Fixed my 18 year old whirlpool washer for $9.95 used capacitor from online auction site. Putting the cabinet back on was the most difficult. Your video gave me the proper instructions. Many thanks.
Totally saved me, thanks. One thing that happened to me. The tabs had been bent flat and I couldn’t figure that out until I watched your video. Bent them up and it worked like a champ.
Thank you for showing us how to do this. My GF started this project without me. I missed how the cabinet comes off. We put a new coupler in our old tank of a whirlpool. I'll never get rid of ol' Bessie ( washer not GF ). But we were having a hard time getting the cabinet back on. You explained it perfectly. We thank you good sir.
What a Great Help this video was today! My husband fixed the machine, but struggled quite a bit to get it put back together. Within 4 minutes, it was put back together correctly, put back in place and working! Thank you to you and your son! You were an answer to prayer!
You are a lifesaver! I replaced the lid switch in my Kenmore washing machine, put everything back together, but couldn't get it back on the track. Watching your video put me back on track and I was able to resolve the problem. Thanks so much!
I searched, "replacing casing on washing machine", not expecting to see any results. Mind you, this is two hours after I quit out of frustration and had to take a shower to cool down. I'm finally in a mental space to even search for a solution. My washer is a little rusted inside, and on those rails, so the screeeech every time I tried to adjust it was driving me nuts. I finally finished replacing the clutch (that retaining ring... don't get me started), got the transmission and engine all reassembled, thinking woo hooo! It's done! OMG. Not even close with this outer casing. Thank you for making a video specifically for this. The clutch replacement videos I've been following have been extremely helpful, but all the minor, frustrating parts aren't mentioned. If you ever want to make another specific video, replacing the retaining ring (the ring that goes around the drive shaft, hooks into a hole in the clutch, then needs to be tucked in) would probably save people another few hours! About to go tackle the casing. Wish me luck!
Yeah......so easy to tear into it that it practically takes itself apart. Watching your video i realized i didn't have enough room to work with in front for tilting the housing back. 12 years after you posted.......Thank You Very Very Much
Dude, I cannot thank you enough I am crying tears of joy as I just changed my lid switch and was ONLY able to put it back together because of your video! Saved $150 on repair man, and gained an overwhelming sense of accomplishment that cover gets heavy when you keep putting it on and off. As far as the quality of video you just need more light that's all the fact that you covered all the bases is what's most important but as soon as I put A lamp down by my feet I was able to snap the front on and then finally the back clips could do their job! I hear the sweet sound of a spinning washer right now and it's thanks to your efforts and whoever shot the video thank you so much keep doing what you're doing!!
For me, the great difficulty is having inadequate workspace. I'd love to have a conversation with the brilliant designers who came up with these brilliant designs. Why on earth did they make it so difficult to put the cabinets back on??? Nevertheless, thank you so much for the pointers in getting the cabinet back on. You seem to be raising a highly competent & functioning young man. Kudos to you!
Thanks for this video. I had to change out my washer pump and when it came time to put the cabinet back on I couldn't get cut my darn finger in the process on the sharp edge of the cabinet. I was able with some help to get the cabinet on perfect with the help of this video. I didn't have to take the long plastic strips off. Thanks again and God Bless You!
Thanks for doing this video. I took cover off replaced pump. No problem took 20 min. Then after another 30 min of putting cover on noticed it didn’t look right. Thank goodness I took the time to watch your video. Great help. I had no idea had to slip front underneath.
Thanks for the video. I was just about ready to throw my washer out the door because I couldn't get the darn cabinet to sit correctly. After watching your video, I realized I wasn't setting the front UNDER the frame. Once I got everything setup correctly, it all looks good. And now I could put those confounded metal clips that secure the back to the cabinet.
thank you I struggled with it for a long time I made the mistake of taking the back off first. 5 seconds into the start of your video i knew what i have been doing wrong all these years. I took everything back apart and put the back on first and then the control panel. After that it took me 15min. to put the whole thing together. My wife thanks you too
Thanks for the help! I wasn't sure how those clips went back on, but you showed me that they just clip in. I guess that's why they're called clips? Anyhow, thanks again for the help!!
Thank you so much for posting this! I could not get the cover back on and I was getting so mad lol I watched this, and less than 2 minutes later the cover was back on. Thank you so much! This was an extremely helpful video.
Thanks tons~this helped me out greatly today as well as how to remove it. I had to replace the water inlet valve an my husband was gone...SUCCESS thanks to you.
You're the man, Bill. Personally, I'd rather take poison than work on a washing machine. Your vids--and I checked out a lot of others--light the way. Salut'
struggled with putting the cabinet back on, watched another video which had lighting problems and he didnt even pull the washing machine out to show what was going on. after watching your video I found that the "Tabs" were bent down and thats why it wouldnt go back on. NEVER would have found that watching the other video, you actually SHOWED that the tabs are built in - i was beginning to worry that i lost some parts. Thanks for doing what you do.
I was servicing appliances part time when this generation of Kenmore/Whirlpool first came out. I was amazed at how service friendly they made them, just couldn't quite remember a few steps. Thanks for posting. Quite helpful.
thank you so much! that was very helpful! getting the front UNDER the lip makes all the difference!! i was going to crazy swearing at the thing cuz i couldn't get it back on right. soon as you said under the lip, i got it on. appreciate your time making these videos.
Awesome video! Thanks for doing this video. I battled with the cabinet for a while and then gave up. I then did a TH-cam search for how to put the cabinet back on. Luckily I found your video and in less than five minutes I had the cabinet back and the washer was working fine.
I want to thank you for taking the time to make this video that was a lot of work I got the cabinet off no problem but it's been 3 weeks since removing it and I was about to throw the whole thing in the street so before I did that I figured is see if anyone made a video on it THANKS AGAIN
Thanks! That helped me a ton. My wife pulled the cabinet sides out when she moved the washer to clean it. I couldn't get the sides back in until I saw this video...
I can't believe I pulled my cabinet by unhooking literally every component from the back panel! I pulled the item from my pump and slowly put everything back, until I realized I had no idea how to put those crazy brass colored s shaped clips on the back. Now I know how wrong I was! Thanks a million!
This is a very helpful video! Your attention to the pins on the side rails needing to "clip" the side panels into place was the instruction I needed. Well done!!!
Thankyou. Your video help me to put back the cover in 10 minutes. Before that, I was fiddling around for an hour and still can not put the cover back. The trick is like you said, put the front lip under the front beam as a guide, and also tilt the cover at a high angle so you see what your are doing. I had to straighten two of the back tabs first to get into the slots.
Thanks Bill. You save me of having to call a technician just to fit the cabinet of my washer. You did a great job explaining how simple the procedure is.
I have been trying to get my cabinet back on for a couple hours now. At one point I seriously considered throwing the thing down the apartment stairs outside. After watching this video, it took me 2 minutes to get the damn thing on. You've saved a washing machines life today.
I know this is 8 years old, and your son is probably out of high school by now! but if you’re still reading the comments, this was still extremely helpful. The lighting didn’t matter because your explanation was so good. Thanks. And thanks for being such a great dad! It shows.

im needing to remove and replace the motor coupling on my washine machine.how can i remove the case if it doesnt have screws just plastic parts in the back.
What if you took bottom screws out of back cause I did and im having troubles
The only criticism I have is when you put the front of the cabinet under the frame. A bright flashlight would help your camera to pickup the details. Good video and still relevant almost 9 years later.
I am so glad you didn't cut the part out where it slipped out. Thanks for making this video.

Something so silly and simple and there ya go. Just needed the 11:44 break to gather my wits.
Really. Thank you very much after more than half an hour trying to figure it out myself. I saw your video and it was like eating bread. It fell on its place like a glove in no time. Sometimes just apparently simple things like that need a detailed video like this. Teach your son too so he becomes a handyman like his dad!!
Thanks, I removed the cabinetry following another video. They just said to tip 45 degrees and lift. I couldn't get the damned thing on again. Found your video and despite the poor lighting your commentary told me everything I needed to know. Front goes under lip while at 45 and then tip back straight. So thanks.
NOTE: to anyone trying it, the rear edge of the cabinet can slice through fingers. Found that the hard way before watching this vid when the cabinet went on wrong and got hooked up on one side.
And I will just say thank you so much! You saved me a lot of money and a new reputation of washing machine repair woman!
My husband has put hours into trying to put the cabinet back on after putting a new lid switch in.... Until I pulled your video up, and then he had the washer put back together and fully functional within 5 minutes 😄 he is very great full to you, but pissed he didn't watch you sooner lol!! Thanks!
I see you made this video years ago but I wanted to let you know that I spent hrs off and on trying to get the doggone cabinet back on!! I found so many videos that helped me get to the drain pump and replace it but NONE of them showed me how to get it back on. I was even looking for parts on my garage floor because I was sure there had to be peices missing. Thank you!!
Man!!!! Just to change the cold water inlet valve!!! The valve was a piece of 🍰!!! That cabinet was playing more games that SHAQ!! So glad that's over and done with! Couldn't have done it without you buddy!!! Thx a million and may God bless you and yours!!🙏😉
Thank u I'm 74 watched someone's video not yrs.cold not put case back on found yr video thank u sooo much i am a great grandma prayed for help and you did help me bless u and yr son..
Thank you Bill. Watched several videos on repairing the washer and I was able to successfully tear down my washer and completely repair it, but wasn't able to get the cabinet back on securely. No videos went through the steps needed. I didn't have the front lip of the cabinet slid under the frame and one side was not on the pin, so it was wobbling. Very frustrating to hear "Well, it works great now, but the whole thing is shaky." I watched your video and, in 30 seconds, I was able to get my cabinet remounted securely. Greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much Bill!!! I don't know what I'd do without your videos! You are the BEST!!! This is my first time writing a message for a youtube video. I couldn't figure out how to write my own comment so I just replied to yours. I just had to let you know how thankful I am!
The man, the legend right here! I can't tell you how many times I have used one of your videos to fix something!! Being a 5ft 5, 105 pound female, I struggle a lot with trying to do stuff myself, but once again, you have done it! After fixing the clutch in my washer, the cabinet sat "just there", but not actually put back on, for about a year because I just couldn't figure it out..... But then I watched this, and, are ya ready? It did go on, the first time! But only with the added Big Daddy flashlight falling next to me and scaring me half to death! So I thank you, you have once again allowed me to prove that I can do it!
This video was extremely helpful I could put my washer back together for 3 days and I FINALLY found this video thank you
Thank you! I am a woman who had not done this before. Off is easy but looked for and found your video after struggling for an hour.
OMG THANK YOU. I spent my morning taking apart the washer and troubleshooting and for the life of me couldn't remember how the heck the casing went back on! The over under thing I had no clue until you showed us, thank you!
Bill - Thanks for making this video! Even though we couldn't see too much when you aimed the camera inside the front of the cabinet, it was still extremely helpful! We had struggled with it for over an hour, and then decided to go to TH-cam. We should always do that first! Seeing the little clips on the outside edge at the bottom, and drawing our attention to the plastic strips on the edges of the back really helped us get it lined up correctly. We hadn't removed the cabinet to do a repair - it got knocked out of place when the washer had an unbalanced load and was banging around like crazy! I guess I didn't run fast enough to get it stopped and re-balanced. Thanks again for the great explanations, and showing a realistic situation in the basement. Keep up the great video-making!
This video not only saved me a lot of time and effort, but saved my washing machine from the 9 iron beating that I was about to let loose. Thanks again for your assistance.
😮 thank you very much even though I was almost in tears before I found your video and I know what my problem is. I need a son to help but I got it done. Thank you very much. You have made me one happy mama to have clean, laundry and not have to chase my washing machine cover across the garage.😮😊❤
Bill, you are awesome! I used your other videos to repair a Kenmore that would not spin and ended up replacing both the clutch and the coupler, which were both severely worn. Believe it or not, getting the case back on was the hardest part of the whole job, so I came back to your TH-cam channel and you helped me out with this additional instructional video! Total cost to get this Kenmore working again: $22 for parts and a few hours of my time! Thank you!!
Thank you so much me and my wife are verrry thankful, I went through the whole process of checking my pump to make sure it wasn't clogged and that's when I found this gem
Great video! After fighting to get my washer back together 3 times, I found this video. Took me less than 10 minutes, and I've already ran a load of wash. Works great!
Thank you Bill! I had an inch or two on either side of the washer, so not much room for maneuvering. Your video helped me line everything up correctly and get that cover on right.
Your video just saved me a whole lot of swearing, frustration and misery for everyone around me that had the bad luck of wandering in to see "how I was doing." LOL! Thanks for this. Just telling people about where the lips of the cabinet were supposed to go was enough to get me on the right track but my "tight side" dropped in the first time and I only had to fight with the "open space" side to get it right. Thank you thank you!
Thank you so much for this informative video. You made this video when my Whirlpool washer was brand new. Almost exactly 8 years to the day from when I bought the washer new, the drain pump started leaking. Your video helped me get the cover back on. I wrestled with the blame thing for a couple hours and decided to go looking for some tips and pointers on how to put it back. Despite so many other videos that show how to fix different things on these washers, seemed like nobody covered the hardest part of the fixes -- the cover. Again, thank you and thumbs up!!
4 YEARS, that's great. I'm glad you were able to get it back together. It would be tough to move with the cabinet off.
Thanks for Watching!
Thanks very much. I had to take mine off to get my washer up on a pallet . The one leg had gone through the crack on the pallet and I was trying to get it set up right again. Added a piece of wood underneath on the pallet. With the help of my daughter, got the washer set straight on the pallet again and replaced the cover. Brilliant!
Thank you thank you thank you! Even with my disabilities I fixed my washer by myself (the lid switch had to be replaced) and shocked the heck out of my husband (who thought he had to fix it after work) all in one day! I never would have figured it out without your videos. Thanks again!
Thanks Bill and son, you saved me about an hour of time and potential back injury!
This video was SO needed! I found a tutorial on how to change the lid switch, but that guy's instructions/demo of putting the cabinet back on was not helpful. It took me three tries, but I finally got it back on! Thank you SOOO much for helping me out on this.
I've been fighting with mom for 3 hours and I just realized I forgot the clips!! Thank you so much for making this video!!
oh my gosh you just helped me so much! I replaced the lid switch and couldn't put the cabinet back on. The video I used showed how to remove it but didn't show how put it back on. I'm surprising my boyfriend and didn't want to ask for his help. Thanks a bunch. Now to put my new garbage disposal in.
Fiddled with the cabinet for over a half hour but with your tips was able to reassemble in less than 5 minutes....I wish I would have watched your video before I allowed myself to get so frustrated. Thanks so much!!!!!
Thank you. It was a struggle for me but I did it! Fixed my 18 year old whirlpool washer for $9.95 used capacitor from online auction site. Putting the cabinet back on was the most difficult. Your video gave me the proper instructions. Many thanks.
Totally saved me, thanks. One thing that happened to me. The tabs had been bent flat and I couldn’t figure that out until I watched your video. Bent them up and it worked like a champ.
Thank you for showing us how to do this. My GF started this project without me. I missed how the cabinet comes off. We put a new coupler in our old tank of a whirlpool. I'll never get rid of ol' Bessie ( washer not GF ). But we were having a hard time getting the cabinet back on. You explained it perfectly. We thank you good sir.
What a Great Help this video was today! My husband fixed the machine, but struggled quite a bit to get it put back together. Within 4 minutes, it was put back together correctly, put back in place and working! Thank you to you and your son! You were an answer to prayer!
You are a lifesaver! I replaced the lid switch in my Kenmore washing machine, put everything back together, but couldn't get it back on the track. Watching your video put me back on track and I was able to resolve the problem. Thanks so much!
As soon as you said that the front goes UNDER and the sides go on top, the light went on for me! Thank you!
I searched, "replacing casing on washing machine", not expecting to see any results. Mind you, this is two hours after I quit out of frustration and had to take a shower to cool down. I'm finally in a mental space to even search for a solution. My washer is a little rusted inside, and on those rails, so the screeeech every time I tried to adjust it was driving me nuts. I finally finished replacing the clutch (that retaining ring... don't get me started), got the transmission and engine all reassembled, thinking woo hooo! It's done! OMG. Not even close with this outer casing. Thank you for making a video specifically for this. The clutch replacement videos I've been following have been extremely helpful, but all the minor, frustrating parts aren't mentioned. If you ever want to make another specific video, replacing the retaining ring (the ring that goes around the drive shaft, hooks into a hole in the clutch, then needs to be tucked in) would probably save people another few hours! About to go tackle the casing. Wish me luck!
Yeah......so easy to tear into it that it practically takes itself apart. Watching your video i realized i didn't have enough room to work with in front for tilting the housing back. 12 years after you posted.......Thank You Very Very Much
Dude, I cannot thank you enough I am crying tears of joy as I just changed my lid switch and was ONLY able to put it back together because of your video! Saved $150 on repair man, and gained an overwhelming sense of accomplishment that cover gets heavy when you keep putting it on and off. As far as the quality of video you just need more light that's all the fact that you covered all the bases is what's most important but as soon as I put A lamp down by my feet I was able to snap the front on and then finally the back clips could do their job! I hear the sweet sound of a spinning washer right now and it's thanks to your efforts and whoever shot the video thank you so much keep doing what you're doing!!
Nicki La Rosa Awesome Job! Thanks for the Great Comment! and Thanks for Watching
Thanks for your time in making this video, it helped a-lot and Thanks to your son the cameraman, Great Job.
For me, the great difficulty is having inadequate workspace.
I'd love to have a conversation with the brilliant designers who came up with these brilliant designs.
Why on earth did they make it so difficult to put the cabinets back on???
Nevertheless, thank you so much for the pointers in getting the cabinet back on. You seem to be raising a highly competent & functioning young man.
Kudos to you!
Man this video… you saved me. Like the others, I was cruising up a storm left and right. Watched this and boom. Done. You rock!
Thanks for this video. I had to change out my washer pump and when it came time to put the cabinet back on I couldn't get cut my darn finger in the process on the sharp edge of the cabinet. I was able with some help to get the cabinet on perfect with the help of this video. I didn't have to take the long plastic strips off. Thanks again and God Bless You!
Thanks for doing this video. I took cover off replaced pump. No problem took 20 min. Then after another 30 min of putting cover on noticed it didn’t look right. Thank goodness I took the time to watch your video. Great help. I had no idea had to slip front underneath.
Very helpful! A friend failed to put it back together properly, and this showed us how it was supposed to be and how to get there.
Thank you so much! Your videos saved us much needed money,as we are on a fixed income. I could have never fixed this without your help!
Thanks for the video. I was just about ready to throw my washer out the door because I couldn't get the darn cabinet to sit correctly. After watching your video, I realized I wasn't setting the front UNDER the frame. Once I got everything setup correctly, it all looks good. And now I could put those confounded metal clips that secure the back to the cabinet.
Thank you. This video is still helping homeowners like me.
thank you I struggled with it for a long time I made the mistake of taking the back off first. 5 seconds into the start of your video i knew what i have been doing wrong all these years. I took everything back apart and put the back on first and then the control panel. After that it took me 15min. to put the whole thing together. My wife thanks you too
Thanks for the help! I wasn't sure how those clips went back on, but you showed me that they just clip in. I guess that's why they're called clips? Anyhow, thanks again for the help!!
Thank you for this video! I had a heck of a time getting the cabinet back on, but with patience and persistence it’s working! 👍🏻
Hey, I never comment on stuff, but thanks for putting this video together. It’s succinct and everything I needed to get this sucker put back together!
Thank you! Just couldn't get the cover on till I saw your video. Made my day.
Thank you so much for posting this! I could not get the cover back on and I was getting so mad lol I watched this, and less than 2 minutes later the cover was back on. Thank you so much! This was an extremely helpful video.
Thanks tons~this helped me out greatly today as well as how to remove it. I had to replace the water inlet valve an my husband was gone...SUCCESS thanks to you.
You're the man, Bill. Personally, I'd rather take poison than work on a washing machine. Your vids--and I checked out a lot of others--light the way. Salut'
struggled with putting the cabinet back on, watched another video which had lighting problems and he didnt even pull the washing machine out to show what was going on. after watching your video I found that the "Tabs" were bent down and thats why it wouldnt go back on. NEVER would have found that watching the other video, you actually SHOWED that the tabs are built in - i was beginning to worry that i lost some parts. Thanks for doing what you do.
I was servicing appliances part time when this generation of Kenmore/Whirlpool first came out. I was amazed at how service friendly they made them, just couldn't quite remember a few steps. Thanks for posting. Quite helpful.
And now it is 11 years old and just saved me $$. Thank you!
thank you so much! that was very helpful! getting the front UNDER the lip makes all the difference!! i was going to crazy swearing at the thing cuz i couldn't get it back on right. soon as you said under the lip, i got it on.
appreciate your time making these videos.
Awesome video! Thanks for doing this video. I battled with the cabinet for a while and then gave up. I then did a TH-cam search for how to put the cabinet back on. Luckily I found your video and in less than five minutes I had the cabinet back and the washer was working fine.
Patricia Ryan Curry Awesome!
Thanks for your video. I was able to repair my washer for 56 cents. Thanks for showing me how to remove cover so I could troubleshoot the problem.
I want to thank you for taking the time to make this video that was a lot of work I got the cabinet off no problem but it's been 3 weeks since removing it and I was about to throw the whole thing in the street so before I did that I figured is see if anyone made a video on it THANKS AGAIN
Thank you! We were having such a hard time putting the cabinet back on and after watching the video it took 6 seconds! Thanks for your help!
Thanks! That helped me a ton. My wife pulled the cabinet sides out when she moved the washer to clean it. I couldn't get the sides back in until I saw this video...
I can't believe I pulled my cabinet by unhooking literally every component from the back panel! I pulled the item from my pump and slowly put everything back, until I realized I had no idea how to put those crazy brass colored s shaped clips on the back. Now I know how wrong I was! Thanks a million!
Also, I watched your vid on trouble shooting and replacing the Kenmore washer clutch.
So thanks from the great island of Trinidad in the Caribbean.🏝
This is a very helpful video! Your attention to the pins on the side rails needing to "clip" the side panels into place was the instruction I needed. Well done!!!
I really want to thank you for this. I've been wrestling with my Roper washer for the whole day, and your videos have helped me so much. Thank you!
Thankyou. Your video help me to put back the cover in 10 minutes. Before that, I was fiddling around for an hour and still can not put the cover back. The trick is like you said, put the front lip under the front beam as a guide, and also tilt the cover at a high angle so you see what your are doing. I had to straighten two of the back tabs first to get into the slots.
You did a terrific job of instruction, paying attention to details makes for a great instructional.
Thanks,
John
Thanks Bill. You save me of having to call a technician just to fit the cabinet of my washer. You did a great job explaining how simple the procedure is.
