    • Appliantology Live Dojo, Saturday, 4/27/2024 @10 AM ET
      27 April 2024 02:00 PM Until 03:00 PM
      5  
      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:
      Click here to go to the forum topic with the registration link. If you're interested, register now. Arrive a couple minutes early to make sure your connection is working. Set a reminder for yourself for this workshop so you don’t miss it.  And check out past workshops here: https://appliantology.org/announcement/33-webinar-recordings-index-page/

Checkout part #43 on the cabinet section of the following link. Also notice part #14 on the top console. I can't remember if it has to be removed also. http://www.searspartsdirect.com/model-number/WGD8800YC0/1198/0151200.html?searchType=modelSearch&q=WGD8800YC0&searchTerm=WGD8800YC0

I didn't find a service manual 

Not sure what problem you are having but there is a service bulletin for no heat.

There are spring clips in the front approximately where the lid turns in toward the door, use your putty knife to press one side tab back, ( but don't lift it too far or it will make the other side impossible to release) then poke a flat tip screw driver into the released side seam gap you made to keep it from popping back together, then repeat on the other side's clip... they are spaced symmetrically.
