How do you remove the top of a Kitchen Aid Models KAWS 770

SOURCE: Clothes washer just makes a noise like a gear spinning ?

I was having the same problem with mine so I took it apart. There is a plastic coupler-like device that connects the drive motor to shaft which allows your "spin" cycle to commence. This coupler has posts in side it but they are under the little belt. My posts were all broken so the bottom piece of the coupler was spinning but the top was not, so it just made a humming noise.

There are 3 bolts holding the gearcase on. Remember to remove the agitator from the tub first.

I just found out that the feel of my pedestal came loose causing the back of the washer to be higher than the front. I don't know if yours is the same, but mine has sounded like a helicopter taking off. I screwed the back feet back in.

I've not yet uprighted the washer to find out if it's resolved--I need the heavy-lifting members of my household for that--but I do hope this will return the washer to a far more normal sound.

Removing the cabinet. UNPLUG the washer. There are two screws holding the control panel to the cabinet. Most models the screw are in front but, some models have the screws in back. They are on each end. Now raise the control panel up and let it rest on the hinges. Unplug the lid switch harness and locate the clips on each side (bronze in color) and release them.
Now the cabinet will lift off the frame and you can set it aside.
I hope this helps. Please let me knwo if I can assist you further.
