How to Safely Remove the Control Panel on a Samsung Front-Load Washer

Samsung washer control-panel removal is model-dependent. Find your exact model and follow its matching guide; one service-manual example is not universal.

Start by finding the washer’s complete model code and region, then follow the matching Samsung repair guide or service manual. Samsung’s customer repair guides are available only for eligible models, and screw locations and removal steps are not universal across front-load washers.

Find the exact model before removing anything

Use the full model code, including its suffix, to locate instructions for your washer. Samsung’s support listing for the WF90F26ADS shows a customer Repair Guide, version 1.0, modified July 9, 2025. Samsung’s service download library says customer Repair Guides are provided for models eligible for customer self-repair. A guide for one model does not establish the procedure for another.

Check that the guide covers your exact model and region, and follow its safety warnings and complete procedure. If it does not cover control-panel removal, or you are uncertain about any step, contact Samsung service rather than improvising.

What one Samsung service-manual example shows

The service-manual preview for the WF45R6100AP/US family describes a sequence for that family only. It lists WF45R6100AP/AW/AC/AV, WF45R6300AP/AW/AV/AC, and WF45T6200AW/US among the covered models. It does not establish that the same sequence applies to other Samsung front-load washers.
