How to Remove the Front of a Kenmore Combo

Kenmore combination washer and dryers, also known as laundry centers, provide all the necessary equipment for washing and drying clothes in a single unit. You might want to remove the front panel to clean out dust and lint that has accumulated in the space between the drum and the panels. Service technicians often remove the front to access the motor and other parts of the washing machine deck. Always remove the power supply before you begin work on the appliance.
