Paula,
I found this copy of instuctions I typed out for someone earlier. Hope it helps.
Start by removing the screws in the console youmay have to take off the plastic end caps to view the screws. Once you have those off flip the console backwards and let it hang there. Unplug the three wired lid switch plug near the console. If you are standing in front of the washer stick a screwdriver in the front part of those metal clips and bend the top of the screwdriver back towards the panel to take them out. Then grab each side of the washer cabinet from in front. Pull/tilt it forward and the whole cabinet should come off.
