Use this guide to show you the steps to take to remove the front panel of your Whirlpool Duet Dryer.
Removing the front panel gives you access to the filter housing, the blower, the door switch, the drum light, and others.
This guide will work for most Whirlpool dryers. This guide is written with a model WED87HED dryer. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.
