To replace the water inlet valve on your Whirlpool Cabrio washer model WTW7500GC2, you will need to first remove the control panel. Follow these steps to safely remove the control panel:

1. Disconnect the Power: Unplug the washer from the electrical outlet to ensure your safety before starting any repair.
2. Turn Off the Water Supply: Shut off the water supply valves to prevent any water flow during the replacement process.
3. Remove the Mounting Screws: Locate and remove the two 1/4" hex-head screws from the back of the control panel. These screws secure the control panel to the washer's top panel.
4. Release the Console Clips: Using a putty knife, carefully insert it between the console assembly and the top panel of the washer. While pressing down with the putty knife, use your other hand to gently push back on the top of the control panel. This action will help release the console clip. Repeat this process on both the right and left sides to fully detach the control panel.
5. Access the Water Inlet Valve: Once both clips are released, flip the control panel forward. This will expose the water inlet valve, allowing you to proceed with its replacement.

By following these steps, you will be able to safely remove the control panel and access the water inlet valve for replacement. For more detailed instruction see our guide for removing the Whirlpool Cabrio Washer Console.
