Once you remove the base, you will see a green circuit board for the control panel. A yellow and black wire will attach to the board. These wires need to be removed in order to take out the motor.

Firmly pull on the metal lead attached to the circuit board for each wire. The wires will detach from the circuit board.

The power cord will run into a clip that holds it in place on the base. Squeeze this clip and push towards the bottom to remove the power cord.
