The situation is as follows.
I have a Kenmore washer model 22292106 with a leak somewhere around the fill valves. The leak occurs while the fill hoses are turned on, but are not coming from the hoses or the fittings. It appears to be somewhere around the fill valves.
Now, I've taken apart plenty of washers that require only a screwdriver to pop a couple latches and you can swing the top or front off to service it. However, these Kenmore's need to have the entire metal casing (except for the back) removed in order to service them. What I need to know is what screws and what latches I need to slide loose in order to get this leak inspected and fixed.
Thanks so much in advance for your time on this problem.

Look at the front console for some screws. They might be plainly visible or maybe under the plastic end caps. Take out the screws, flip the console back, you'll see the latches. Pop them with a scewdriver, take the electrical pilug apart for the lid switch, lift the back of the cabinet while at the same time tilting the it towards you. If it's a 2 solenoid valve, you can get a generic that will work, maybe $12 or so.
