How to Remove the Cover on a Kenmore Model 110 Washing Machine
Kenmore manufactures a number of 110-series washing machines; however, they all use the same basic design. The Kenmore washer's cover is on the rear of the machine. Removing the cover is necessary if you need to repair the washing machine or access many of its vital parts, such as the agitator belt or the electrical terminal block. Once you prepare the washer to have the cover removed, removing it is simple. Does this Spark an idea?
