I have a Kenmore washing machine that is about 10 years old, the trigger switch went up and now it will NOT drain, the problem is getting to it, can someone tell me how to take my washer apart to fix the switch?

Most Kenmore washers you can open the panel by removing two screws at front lower corners & lift it forward & up out of the way. Underneath the panel on either side is a large clip. Lever it out after making a note of which way around it fits back into place. Once clips are removed the whole body cabinet will be free to tilt forward to gain access to the switch.
