# Removing the Front Panel of a Stacked Washer
Stacked washer and dryers are perfect for properties with limited available appliance space. By combining a top-load washing machine and a front-load dryer in a single stacked unit, the appliance can be installed in cupboards and other small spaces. You might want to remove the front panel of the washing machine to access the motor, suspension or any of the other internal components for repair. Some instructions may vary depending on the specific model you own. Always disconnect the power if you plan to do any work on the washer.
