This post shows the thirteen steps to removing the control panel from washer mother board and reading the schematic direction on how to remove the metal cabinet around the General Electric washer.
Step 1: Fig.1 shows one of the 3-hex head screws that will need to be removed with a hex head screwdriver from the upper top back side on the control panel. The instruction state there are four hex head but my model only had three hex head screws that were at the very top of the back of the control panel.
Step 2: Fig.2 shows a 1/4 inch hex head screwdriver.

Step 3: Fig.3 shows that the control panel must be lifted up slightly off by sliding it to the left. There are three tabs that attach the control panel. That the one with all the buttons. Slide the top sleeve out from under the control panel about 1/8 of an inch.
On this model you have to balance the washer top piece, these tabs can
be easily break they are made of plastic. The entire top will move but
its connected by a hose so be careful.

Step 4: Before removing each terminal, place
tape near each terminal and on the terminal wiring to make sure that
each terminal is placed in the correct order. Turns out each terminal
was very different from each other and this step could have been
skipped. Fig.4 shows terminal #1, fig.5 shows terminal #2 and fig.6 shows black terminal. Remove
all three control harnesses from the wiring harness to partly release
the metal panel. The metal panel is still hooked by a rubber hose. The hose determines the water amount in the washer. Do
not disconnect the hose. The panel must be balanced between the top
washer.

Step 7: Fig.11 shows the schematic diagrams
for this washer and complete installation guide with pictures on how to
replace each part of the washer for the repair technician. Each model comes with its own specific
page and that is why each page has a unique serial number. Fig.12 shows the schematic and direction serial number.

Step 13: Fig.18 shows the schematic diagram. These directions are not on the Internet you have to have gone to appliance school to slowly pick up these schematics and direction sheets. I have searched the Internet and I have only found parts schematics with part numbers. These are better because they show everything on how to repair the washing machine.
