Front Panel
The front panel is inserted onto four posts that
are attached to each side of the cabinet and held
in place with four Phillips-head screws. A gasket
provides a watertight seal between the front
panel and outer tub. The front of the gasket is
secured to the front panel flange by a spring and
wire located in the fold of the gasket. The door
and door lock assembly are attached to the front
panel, as well as the damper.
