Remove the panel from the top of the washing machine. Pull the soap-dispenser drawer out of the front of the machine and depress the clip at the back to pull it off the machine. Remove the screws at soap dispenser using a Phillips screwdriver.2. Remove the retaining screws from the control panel with the Phillips screwdriver. Depress the clips and pull the control panel off the front of the machine. Rotate the control panel so that you can lay it on top. Open the washer door and remove the door-latch retaining screws with a nut driver. Push the latch into the machine. Raise the front of the appliance off the floor and slide a wood block underneath to prop it up.
3. Remove the retaining screws, with a nut driver, from the bottom of the front panel. Remove the block from under the machine and lower it back down onto the floor. Using a pair of needle-nose pliers, pull the outer gasket spring clamp away from the gasket. Peel the gasket away from the opening and push it into the washer. Using a nut driver, remove the retaining screws from the top of the front panel and pull the panel away from the frame.
4. Unplug the wiring harness and set the panel aside. Disconnect the two hoses from the top of the gasket by pulling them out. Grasp the old bellow gasket and pull it away from the washing machine along with the inner spring clamp. Remove the clamp from the gasket and discard the gasket in the trash. Place the new gasket on the washtub, making sure the opening for the inner hoses is at the top. Work the gasket onto the washtub. It may take some effort to get it on.
5. Plug the two hoses into the openings at the top of the gasket. Install the inner spring clamp around the perimeter of the gasket and work it into the groove. Use the tip of the screwdriver if necessary, being careful not to gouge the new gasket. Place the front panel on the washing machine and plug in the wiring harness. Install the top retaining screws using a nut driver.
6. Reach into the machine between the front panel and frame to push the door latch into the opening. Install the door latch retaining screws using a nut driver. Push the door gasket into place around the outer perimeter of the door opening. Make sure the gasket locks into place on the lip. Install the outer retaining spring clamp and work it into the groove. Lift the front of the machine up and slide the wood block under it to prop it off the floor.

Reposition the control panel in place on the front of the machine and push until the retaining clips lock. Install the retaining screws for the control panel, and at the soap dispenser opening, using a Phillips screwdriver. Insert the soap-dispenser drawer into the opening and push it all the way in.
8. Place the top panel on the washing machine and install the retaining screws using a Phillips screwdriver. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet and slide the washing machine into place against the wall. Run the machine while empty for a short cycle to check the new gasket.
