Sensor Rod Removal
1. Remove the front panel to access the sensor
rods and harness (see
Front Panel Removal
under
Front Panel
in this section of this
service guide).
2. Remove one 1/4-in. hex-head screw securing
the grill housing to the front drum support.
This is located on the inside of the door
opening.
3. Remove two T15 Torx-head screws securing
the grill housing to the front drum support.
4. Disconnect the harness connectors from
sensor rods. A flat-blade screw-driver works
well.

The drum has two grooves where the drum sits
on top of drum rollers. There are two at the front
and two at the rear of the drum. It is held in place
on the drum rollers using a downward pressure
caused by the idler arm and spring.
