Hello,
If this is a direct drive washer made by Whirlpool and you have the control panel off already there should be 2 metal clips that were under the panel. Stick a straight screwdriver in them and push down to release the clips. Also make sure you unplug the lid switch connector that was under the panel. Stand in front of the washer and grab ahold of the cabinet. Pull the whole cabinet toward you to remove it, one piece. Hope this helps.
